The QR flight out of IAD is good via DOH, except there are NO EQMs and most of the economy fare buckets I've found earn 50% miles.

No real good star alliance options.

I'd consider using miles for an upgrade as well. I looked at a business award ticket and the only thing I found was IAD-MAD-BKK-KTM. Enh.

Any creative ideas or suggestions out there?

How about flying to Delhi (EWR-DEL on CO) and connecting from there?
