Anonymizing Bitcoin

With the built-in Darksend feature it is easily possible to anonymize DASH without having to send the coins to a trusted third party such an exchange. A big advantage is that you are the owner of the coins at every stage of laundering.

But what about Bitcoin? Does someone have a good overview of up-to-date options how to anonymize Bitcoins without an explicit convertion into another cryptocurrency?

Sending Bitcoins first to an exchange with a subsequent withdrawal into a new address is not a very feasible option. The exchange might know your real identity and can expose it upon request. If the exchange gets MtGox'ed or Cryptsy'ed, then you will never see your funds again anywhere.

I heard of mixing services, exchanging "old" Bitcoins to freshly minted Bitcoins for a fee etc. But who knows how and whether it works?
