Okay, how about this stuff?
WLP833 German Bock Lager Yeast
From the Alps of southern Bavaria, this yeast produces a beer that is well balanced between malt and hop character. The excellent malt profile makes it well suited for Bocks, Dopplebocks, and Oktoberfest style beers. Very versatile lager yeast, it is so well balanced that it has gained tremendous popularity for use in Classic American style Pilsners. Also good for Helles style lager beer.
Attenuation: 70-76%
Flocculation: Medium
Optimum Fermentation Temperature: 48-55°F
Alcohol Tolerance: Medium-High

so far I’m thinking about WLP820 from White Labs it’s an Oktoberfest style, slow starter but allows for the malt to shine through.

I like my doppelbocks malty and dry, not sweet. I am a big fan of the Czech lager yeasts, such as PU and Staropramen strains. I have a doppelbock lagering right now, and the Wyeast seasonal release this past winter StaroPrague 2782 took my 1.084 OG doppelbock down to 1.016. I have also had good results with WY2278 Czech pils for big bocks up to 1.100 OG.
I am not too fond of the Ayinger yeast (WLP833) for doppelbocks, the one time I used it the beer came out too sweet for my tastes. FWIW, I prefer the drier Salvator over the sweeter Celebrator.

I would think to go with something along the lines of the WY2124 Bohemian yeast… or the WY2206 Bavarian.
I can’t wait to try this tasty brew after all these great suggestions.

As far as yeast goes, it’ll be helpful to know how you will process this beer; if it will be filtered or bottle conditioned, etc? Can you provide a bit more about your plans for handling this stuff? I’d prefer an unfiltered and bottle-conditioned beer, since it’s not likely to be a big run this might not be an issue for you (but I’m a little ignorant about some of this stuff.)
Yeasties will be different for different intentions. Please throw us a bone or two.
