This is kind of what I was thinking - where I could just swap TH with DE during clan war. I think I'll give it a try. Any suggestions?

Seems a good base.

Only one problem I found with this base is it's weakness to healer-giant.
Maybe it's a problem with th7 bases in general as they don't have the extra air defense or extra walls....
Seems that whenever I gather enough resources to make healer-giant cost effective, I get leveled. 3 stars pretty much guaranteed.
They drop a pack of giants near one of the big pockets, and with a heal spell they take out the air defense. Then a healer or two will cause them to destroy the majority of the base before getting in to range of the other air defense. After that, the giants have enough hp to clean up the rest, or they can even have another heal spell ready just in case.
I was using the Mantis. I just recently moved up to Gold III to experiment with some Dark Elixir Farming. Well lets just say I got absolutely murdered tonight. Numerous 450+ K losses. I also lost over 2500 Dark Elixir to raids.
Needless to say, I need a new base design. That's just unacceptable.
So I'm using the new base design feature and gonna give this a try.
I'm currently maxed defense, minus 1 air defense. I'll be here another couple weeks and plan to have near full storage most of the time.
Thanks for all your help. I'll let you know how it goes.

Ive been using the original trion for 2 weeks now, and it's been working really well. Ive been wondering though where to put the new DE drill. I was thinking about putting it in the outer layer of the base but there's nothing to swap it with. Where do you think I should put it?
There no room in pretty much any TH7 base atm to place a drill properly out of range of a simply barb and archer combo but the best you can do is while a defense building is upgrading swap it with the drill. If not, use Mungo's Air Defense modification and swap an elixir collector with the drill.
