It's-a me again. Here I'm trying to save a boring and "intetsigende" shot i squeezed out of my old Canon PowerShot A60. Is there any other direction I rather should have gone in? I basically just ran shadow/highlight, increased saturation and colored the little lake.

Not bad, but:
1. Get rid of that red circle in the sky
2. More contrast to the ground

I would use the landscape from the bottom image and the sky from the top image. Also, you should desaturate the land a little bit, the colors are too vivid.

Alright, thanks for your C&C. I use a pirated copy of PS CS2, by the way.

Anyone care to share the magic Photoshop formula for turning a slightly blown-out sickly white sky into an opulent, majestic cloudscape?

There's no such thing. Either it is blown-out or it isn't.

My guess would be the clone stamp; paste good pixels on top of the blown out ones. Or shoot film, wich I hear don't have the abrupt blowouts, but instead the highest tonal ranges are "compressed" to fit more of the detail on to the film.
