This is a great step-by-step guide to changing domains using a phase-in approach.  To be frank, the few times we have had to do this, we did it in one fell swoop, pointing the old domain to the new domain, personally contacting the top linking webmasters and going on an aggressive link-building campaign.  Somehow, the phased-in approach sounds like less work.
