I completely agree with the whole guerrilla warfare thing, but I feel like that is kind of where the nords honor would get in the way. One other thing is that I think the nords would have to move their capitol/main defense to Markarth. None of the others holds are defensible enough, Markarth would provide a perfect spot to engage in guerrilla with all of the mountains. The nords could engineer rockslides, hold off choke points in the passes, etc (All the dominion has to do to speed up this process is take whiterun, which isn't a very difficult task. Just look at the walls, and the plains would give the dominion the advantage in using their numbers, where mountain passes would limit that to an extent). However, they would only be able to hold out for a time. They wouldn't be able to get supplies, so the dominion could just starve them out. The only way I believe that skyrim would survive, would be through something like another Ebonheart Pact, which is highly unlikely.
