My old composition.That doesn't work anymore was 15 Giants, 25 barbs,40 arch,2 healers and 4 wiz, 2 heal spells,1 rage. It would always work until mid way TH7. Now it sucks. Now I use aerial assault and I go in with 4 dragons and 16 balloons and 20 minions, for war. Change that to 20 balloons and 20 archers for regular raiding. Bringing 2 rage,1 heal.
Using my war strategy always got me 3 stars on every battle, rarely did I get 2 stars. Hope this helps
in terms of strategy, I would suggesting using barbs and archers to lure CC, take out CC troops with more barch plus a couple wizs, then drop giants on same side as you lured, then wbs to bust a path. drop a healer if no AD close by or wait for giants to take out an AD. If it takes too long and they're dying, drop a heal.
release your wizs once giants take all the attention and rage and heal whenever appropriate. I would probably drop your CC once the lure is done. Drop it behind the giants, not on a new side.

Some good advice has already been given but here some more. If you dont have a drag yet you are probably so young th7 that even maxed th7 bases with barb kings are challenging. If you have lvl4 balloons they might be used even though they are a bit scrap. Here a suggestion:
3 lightning spells to take out one AD
20 lvl4 balloons + 4-5 lvl6 balloons that you request to your attack cc
2 giants
10 wizards, rest archers
Drop your first giant to a place where it gets close enough to the cc to lure them out. Count what comes out, the last two wizards are enough to destroy your attack if they stay in. If needed drop still the second giant, on opposite side of the base to avoid killing him immediately. Then lure cc troops to a corner and kill them by surrounding with archers and a few wizards. Dont spot your troops into tight group, wizards kill them immediately with their spash. If there is a dragon in the cc lure it to corner as well and surround with some 20 archers. Add some archers if needed. Now you still should have some wizards and a bunch of archers left and you are ready to attack.
1) destroy the most centralized AD with lightning spells
2) release your balloons in a large row to two sides of the base, again not bunch them because air bombs and wiz towers make serious damage to them.
3) release the lvl6 balloons from your cc immediately after your own balloons to a point where they have shortest route to AD. Remember that balloons take always the target that is closest to them so they dont necessarily go directly to AD. This is an important point to take into account when planning where and how to release your balloons.
4) Once the balloons have cleared major part of the defenses, start dropping your remaining wizards and archers to help cleaning the base. Again, spread them so that they dont all run into nearest giant bomb and get killed.
This strategy should work satisfactorily at least to such compact size th7 bases that dont yet have maxed defenses. As an alternative to lvl6 balloons lvl5 hogs may be used yet with some higher risk. A lvl4-5 AD drops a lvl 4 balloon in two seconds so you may easily lose 5-6 balloons before the AD is destroyed. The remaining 14-15 lvl4 balloons + the 4-5 more durable lvl6 balloons should still be enough to clean the defenses.
Consider carefully before using balloons against large base where things have been dispersed troughout the base. Balloons are slow, they are there longer time under fire and should they still be able to destroy defenses you risk to run out of time in cleaning.
