I'd prefer to ship this as a DMG... But if I understand DMG-based

I need the user to copy the application folder (not just the bundle)
into the Applications folder. otherwise the plugin won't be found and
life as we know it will cease ;)
You can set the background image of the dmg to explain it, but some
users will not do what you say and manually copy it incorrectly.
Your two options to ensure correct installation would be to:
a) use a package installer
b) put the plugins and docs inside of your application's bundle.
