There's probably an extremely obvious answer to this...

....but why didn't the time lords just come through the crack anyway?
Yeah, I understand that they trust the doctor and so him saying his name would confirm it wasn't a trap or whatever, but if they hadnt sent their message across all of time and space in the first place, no other species would have arrived and surely they could have slipped through unnoticed?!
And if they were confident in the knowledge that it was the doctor, so much so that they were willing to send all that regeneration energy through, why didn't they just come through themselves? I though all they needed was confirmation it was him?! Oh, actually, in writing this last bit I think I've just realised.. The time lords coming through would have triggered another war. So that's why they're still waiting, just for the doctor to say the coast is clear. Is that right?

Yes,they are waiting for The Doctor to say things are clear for them to come through,or for The Doctor to find them
But why did they send a message through all of time and space if it was going to mean everyone turning up, not just the Doctor
Is the Doctor actually the Doctor or A.N. Other Timelord with the new regeneration cycle being a red herring to cover the death of the Doctor & his replacement?
Them coming through and fighting the Daleks would have led to another time war, hence why the church weren't willing to let him bring them through.
They sent it through all of time and space assumedly because they had no means to target him specifically throughout the universe. If they're searching for the right universe, perhaps they just blasted the message through every universe they could find.
Take it you didn't watch the anniversary special, as that whole episode answers exactly your question.
