The idea of a villain from Equestria trying to conquer the human world certainly sounds like an interesting idea. Although I wouldn't see a unicorn doing it, unless they had an artifact or some other thing that allowed them to use their magical abilities despite their transformation. It would have to be an earth pony, zebra, pegasus, gryphon, or some other sentient creature whose magical properties aren't restricted to whether or not they have a certain body part present.

On that note, that's one reason why the idea of Sunset Shimmer staying in the human world irks me so and seems OOC to me: the comics state she went out of her way to study all kinds of magic, so why would she stay in a world where she couldn't use it at all? And saying "because of her friends" just seems like an excuse, not a reason. Yeah, she has friends in the human world, but it doesn't mean she can't TRY to make friends back in Equestria. Making friends isn't like a "what you see is what you get" deal, you know. Besides, are you familiar with the old saying "If all your friends were jumping off a cliff, would you do it, too"?
