I have told Zerg for some time now that ling drops are very strong, and work with all kinds of other choices.
I recently found this great thread by TangSC, http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=294983, about Fast Ling Drops vs Protoss doing FFE or Nexus first.
This guide is very well thought out, he also provides a 75 minute stream that covers this Build in great detail http://www.twitch.tv/tangsc/b/302592802, there are a couple of minutes when he shows the first game where his video card is straining/blinking until he changes settings, you can just skip ahead to 7:35 on the Twitch timer or 5:25 on the SC2 game Clock, rest of stream is fine.
TangSC also provides a replay, note he covers a lot of games in the 75 minute stream linked above, replay at http://drop.sc/75173.
He also provides detailed written notes in the stream, all in all this is an excellent guide!
I am adding this to the standard material that I provide to Zerg I coach.

You should follow TangSC, I am after seeing this guide!
You can find full contact information & Coaching rates from TangSC on his TwitchTV channel http://www.twitch.tv/tangsc
Edited to add further thoughts: I really like how this build seems safe vs most things in the early game, and cause your dropping early you don't really have to worry about over producing lings.
You also get really complete scouting information!

MLG DongRaeGu (Z) vs Naniwa (P)! WOW
Game 1 made me think I was watching Catz play, was on Metalopolis and Naniwa denies expo so DRG takes gold just like Catz likes to do.
Looked like Naniwa was bit flustered by it, he tried a 4 gate but his timing was off and he GG quickly. Not exactly like Idra, but I'm not sure the game was over.
Game 2 was REALLY GOOD, Naniwa opens with voidray + phoenix harass, and was doing a lot of damage. At one point he had lost one unit and had doen ~1450 worth of damage.
But DRG kept defending with Queens + spore crawlers. Mainly lost queens & spores and couple of extractors. Started massing lings & teching to banelings + drop & speed for Ovies.
Then just attacks and takes down Naniwa's natural, Naniwa had Colossus and small gateway army, but the airforce was out of position still attacking DRG's bases. Lings and banelings took out all the gateway units and then DRG ran his empty Ovies at the Main mineral line while his massed lings took down tha natural.
Really good play on both sides. I will be getting that replay downloaded on my machine!
