The ghast cannon is in fact, a cannon. Built via:
[B][I][G]
[D][N]
[R][I][G]
B= Blaze Rod
I= Iron Block
G = Gold Block
D= Dispenser
N = Nether Wart
R = Nether brick
You fire it by right clicking with the blaze rod with a flint and steel in your inv. You must also have a cannon ball along with nether warts. You can fill it up with items to fire so the ammo doesn't come from your inventory.
Right clicking it with your hand tweaks the distance. I think somewhere along 20-30-40 would be nice increments.
The basic cannon ball is made by: S= Stone, G = Ghast Tear, N= Netherrack
[S][N][S]
[S][G][S]
[S][S][S]
This fires a ghast fireball which has the same properties.
A stronger one would be made: I= Iron Ingot, T=TNT
[I][G][I]
[S][T][S]
[I][I][I]
Another type of propellant is:
[N][G][N]
[][G][]
N= Nether Wart
G= Gunpowder
This increases the range increments by 10 when used instead of a nether wart.
If you fire too many cannon balls (say 10 for regular ones, 5 for super ones), the cannon will overheat. If you fire again, it will explode like a creeper. You can either wait for it to cool down, or you can throw snowballs at it. 4 snowballs per regular shot (It will only look cooler if you can fire a super cannon ball and not make it explode). Alternatively, snow blocks and water will help cool it faster, albeit not as fast as rapidly chucking snowballs.
They can be set off by redstone, but it limits your firing supply due to the fact that the Rod and Flint and Steels take up space. Right clicking it with an iron ingot will open up the dispenser screen. You need at least 1 Blaze Rod, and at least 1 Flint and Steel (They take double damage per firing), along with ammo and propellant. The range increments can be changed by having redstone on either side turn on at the same time. It will go up by one and at the max, then reset.

Seems, cool. But 98.7% of anything that people say should be implemented.. which are almost always AMAZING ideas that people would like don't get implemented. Notch doesn't read any of this.. and I am sure the rest of Mojang doesn't either.
