Well... 
A few lucky random-events maybe, but nah... You'll have a better shot on that as Castill

Within the game - it is quite common to see players trying to alter dp settings to get the +1 siege bonus that Venice gets in EU 1 early on when artillery is scarce. Later on there is more of a balance in gameplay between dp settings for fire, shock and siege.
Depends on your style as well - if you besiege everyone to death then defense dp is preferred. If you want to smash them in the field then go for quality, land, offense and aristocracy.

Oh goodie - so it is possible to switch between +2 to maneuver to +2 to shock etc? Or the changes are not as immediate? Or they apply only to the big leaders, not just the colonels?
Applies to all default leaders (not specials)
To go from one extreme to another would take 70-80 years and you would be missing out on other bonuses (e.g. extra colonists, faster tech). It's a real art deciding which setting is best for you.

Oh great. Surviving the next 1-2 days is so that much harder
I really hope the manual for EU2 is just as good as EU1 or even better (please do make a contents page this time... and a glossary... wait, the game is out already... dang ) so I don't have to bug people all the time (or get surprises all the time on my own)

I personally would stick with off. doctrine, the increased morale will probably help in storming fortresses.
So, it appears that Castile is Spain for all practical purposes, and I can't try to get Aragonese hegemony in the peninsula?
You can annex Castile, then proclaim Spain. Aragon will have 10 provinces, Castile only 9.
That DP settings idea seems very good! About the Knights, it was just a funny, extreme example. In fact, I was thinking more in the admirals that Spain has all along the game, quite inferior IIRC to the french and specially to the british ones. That's a real problem when you have an american empire - I wonder how 'we' did get it in the real world...
Now I am confused- Castile annexed and still existing? Or perhaps you mean two different scenarios. So I would need to diplo-annex Castile to take Madrid to have the event to be Spain to have the leaders to have Tordesillas... while Castile just RMs me to become Spain.
I mean that it is not impossible to annex Castiella, cos you have more provinces.
BTW, Castiella soen't need to RM you to proclaim Spain

The best solution, IMHO: Make the condition to proclaim Spain the ownership of Madrid and Barcelona or Madrid and Lisbon
That's a good idea, in my opinion, as long as Aragon's capital is Barcelona! It should be neccessary to possess at least two of the capitals of the peninsula-and that should encourage the "diplomatic" approach a little.............probably!
Oh yes. I suppose the capital of Aragon will be in Aragon, the same way the capital of Castile is in Castilla instead of being at Toledo

How long did Castile use Toledo as its' capital-I know it was the old Visigothic capital and thus one of the prizes of the reconquista, but it was a "frontier" city for quite a while.
In fact, the Court used to move a lot, so it would be difficult to represent. But no doubt that it wasn't MAdrid, and no doubt no one in the 15th Century cared who owned Madrid.
The fact is that many kings had their capital at Toledo. Having Toledo as the capital was like a proof that Castiella was the true heir of the Visigothic Kingdom, and thus, the right owner of all of Hispania.

This should be quite easily handleable with events ... Maybe I'll give it a try ... Though it could have consequences on gameplay ... Castille happens to be the strongest Iberian nation and some things could get messy with those changed capitals ...
It should be easy to do. Just an event in 1561 to move the capital to Madrid and perhaps +1 centralization or something like that.
