Grats, am waiting till Saturday for my run on it.
"Well, they found my diary today.
They were appropriately appalled
at the discovery of the eight victims
They're now putting it all together.
Women wrapped in silk
with one leg missing
Eight legs, one body, silk,
spider, brilliant!"

We were:
Yeremi: Sonic/Elec Blaster
Extremus: Fire/Ice Blaster
Righteous Bob: Ill/Kin Controller
Omega MCX: Mind/Emp Controller
Decibellion: Sonic/Sonic Defender
Arch Glacier: Ice/EM Tank
Stark: Ill/Kin Controller
Centurion Alpha: Grav/Rad Controller
This TF is way awesome. It hits exactly the right balance between extremely challenging and tear-your-hair-out frustrating. I really had to be on my toes during the last mission, and I was playing a Sonic Defender which is usually a pretty relaxed role in PvE.
With that team make up i hope it was on invincible 
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
Finished it about 9:30pm UK Time in a similar time maybe slightly longer 
thePhilosopher Martial Arts/Regen/Fire Scrapper
theRegulator Empathy/Energy/Soul Defender
Total Inertia Ice Blast/Kinetics/Psy Corruptor
Total Inferno Ice Blast/Thermal/Leviathan Corruptor
Yep, done, no serious injuries sustained, in fact the only time I died was after we had finished and were chatting a flier came over and pummeled us :P

"The Hamidon is a what what of what?" - Brian the mission guy.
Was a damn good laugh and with the team make up a lot easyer than the first time i attempted this, So looking forward to the repeat performance 
Handy tip to those that reach the final mission, make sure to bring someone that can do sleep it prove's to be an awesome way to keep the lv54 av's at bay and lets you do stuff like this while everyone proceeds with pounding everything else like the flyer

sleep? pfft zerg rush em with venged up shivs I wish we demorecorded our AV fight it was just so short and funny. We killed GW and BS in under a minute, looked around for Mako and Shiro then saw in combat log that they were already dead.
Anyone else feel that Recluse got a huge buff? he perma spawned wave after wave of bane spiders when we got to him, was wasnt such a constant stream of arachnos hoardes in any of the test runs I did.

I didn't see him spawn a single one while we were fighting him.
I seem to be the only one who couldnt get a team for this.... bah, oh well, better luck tonight then.
Congratulations by the way.

heh, looks like we got them all as he was totally relentless in spawning them way past the agro cap, fortunately it sounds like we just got a bad run in recluse

Yep the Ecehlon put together a team yesterday and we had a little play, ontop of completeing it using the Shiv rush tactic oen member got the Toxic Tarantuler badge and our shiv's seemed to eat Mako before we even started.
I think Kitty had been training them
Great TF and lots of fun
Our Team was made up of around:
1 Scrapper
1 Tank
3 Controllers
3 Defenders
I'd like to know if an all defender one was possible...... I'd also like to try an all defender one even if it wasn't

The Goonies successfully finished their run at it last night, we got to the last mission late on Wednesday evening and had a few trial runs at it (didn't get past the Patron AVs). After a bit of preperation yesterday afternoon we started the last mission at about 8:30pm and were finished by about 10pm. We were figuring tactics out as we went along and we were far from being an optimal team, so there's definately room to get that time down considerably.
Team was:
Hammerfall - Inv/Mace Tanker
Shadow Fury - BS/Dark Scrapper
Tinya - Katana/SR Scrapper
War Rock - Earth/Kinetic Controller
Bog Monster - Earth/Storm Controller
Jackie Sparrow - Mind/Empath Controller
Red Noise - Sonic/Elec Defender
Blackfox - Fire/Energy Blaster
That's no Phantom Army, no dedicated healer (though Jacks did a great job against Recluse!) no Rads, No FF bubbles, no Stone Tanker and mostly melee damage dealers. Far from the "optimum team".
On the first night we didn't even have vengence (I was playing the defender, and respecced in vengence and power boost for the second evening. It did help, we ended up using it a few times).
Spoilers:
We had no trouble at all with Dr. Aeon. War (the only one who'd done the tf before) said he dropped in record time. A combination of Earth Controls and Elec Short Circuit/Power Sink meant that any Elite Bosses he summoned were completely drained and going nowhere... and Fury had the Thorn temp power on autofire!
We had trouble with the Patron AVs on Wednesday night, but we took them down without much trouble on Thursday. Going in with Vengence + Shivans really does make a big difference to surviving their alpha, and once Ghost Widow is down it's remarkably easy. I know at least one Chemical Warhead was used (after vengence wore off) but I honestly don't think it made much difference. We left Mako until the end and had slight trouble with his +defence, but we had at least two levels of Tactics running and some melees had Focussed Accuracy (or the Geas accolade). We could probably have used Vengence again if we had really needed extra +ToHit to take him down, but although the scrappers dipped into the red a few times I don't think anyone actually died during the Patron fight. We didn't bother pulling them back to the longbow boat for extra support.
Recluse was a different story, but with a small tank team (INV, Empath, Sonic) we found we could hold him indefinately whilst the rest hit the towers. We had problems when he started summoning level 54 Bosses at us, but we only had one "full wipe" so we must have been doing something right. After the wipe we used another vengence rush in order to kill off his multiple boss pets.
Initially we attempted to pull him away from the towers to past his statue, in order to see if his buffs would shut off once he broke line of sight. This didn't work and he kept Teleporting/Running back to aggro the tower teams. We eventually got him down by solid tanking + killing three of the four towers (we left the blue one) and then dogpiling on him!
Very fun TF. I came away with a level 50 Dam/Acc SHO reward, as well as a level 50 Jump "+Stealth" IO Recipe which dropped from Recluse.
Akin to this thread here, we've just knocked it out in about 1 hour 20 minutes from start to finish.
Anyone else done it yet?
