My whole teaching philosophy is basically based on this model. Whenever I am planning on teaching anything new to my students, I use the ADDIE approach. I just never knew I was using it.
I do not feel there are any weaknesses but definietly wanted to point some huge strengths.
I feel that evaluation sometimes gets lost in the shuffle with teachers. I am to blame as well. Reading about this ISD model has reminded me to formatively and summatively evaluate student progress. I do a good job with summative evaluations. I am now assessing my students with shorter more frequent assessements which helps me know what I need to be teaching. What this actually does for me is I don't plan far in advance anymore. I plan according to student needs and now I know more often what they need. That probably sounds confusing but I understand it perfectly.
I use the analysis phase or I call it preassessment with everything I teach. It gets the students thinking about the topic and at lot of times gets them excited.
One of my favorite instructional practices is cooperative learning. My students sit in groups and I expect them daily to work together to solve problems or to get a task done. This helps with the amount of talking in the classroom. I give them permission to talk about their assignment so they aren't quiet very much of the day.

You bring up a good poin about ISD--you can' plan too far ahead. Teachers who use the same lesson plans from year to year--will find that just isn't possible.
I like to plan my lessons for about a week or two in advance. I feel like if I plan too far in advance I will have to make major changes to my plans based on my students understanding. If I plan on a weekly basis I am able to easily alter my plans to fit my students needs.
I like cooperative learning as well. As long as the students are focused and talking about the assignment, I do not mind the noise.
Those shorter and more frequent assessments/quizzes/knowledge checks also can have an added benefit in reinforcing learning, too.
