I'm not sure I can be much help, I've only run it the once on Beta, but it seemed pretty straight forward. It might have helped that the league I was on was primarily copied 50s.|

this badge is currently bugged and the window is much smaller than 30 sec (a lot of sources indicate its closer to 3 seconds)
Well, for one thing, the badge for defeating them simultaneously is bugged in this release, fixed in the next patch.
How much trouble teams have seems to depend on how much support you have. With enough global buffs or global heals, you can just spank them to death. Otherwise, it's a bit harder (I've had one team wipe so far), because there are AoE patches not to stand in, just like in Death from Below, but they're harder to see. Or, at least, I think there are. The uneven terrain and the murky graphics are making it hard for me to tell.

I wonder if this is similar to the "decimal place error" that supposedly forced the Empath badge to require the ridiculous 1 billion HPs healed for several years. Positron actually tried to get us to believe that the original 1 billion value was a decimal error before it was finally reduced.|

So on and so on. Nothing against Matt, of course.

The 20 hour V-Day ritual debuff was also Positron's idea

Trick?
It seems straight forward. Defeat 'em both at the same time.
Finished it 3 times on pug teams. One I guess failed as we were unable to defeat them at the same time. Defeated one then the other.
Two taunters helped.

Great game while it lasts.

Mostly I find myself drowning in shivan goo, rather than blood. Don't get me wrong, I love how they explode and splatter, but surely it should be called "Drowning in Goo".
My 2 cents: I've run this twice so far from LFG queue. Only took a few minutes to start each time btw, but that's on Virtue, YMMV, especially on one of the other servers that I would never accuse of having lower populations but might never-the-less have fewer people trying to queue at any given time.
Anyway, first time through we had 5 people, and at least one of them was a tank/brute/scrapper. Things went well. I think we even had the AVs fighting each other at some point.
Second time through we had only 4 people, and my level 26 StJ/Nin stalker was the only melee. So yes, I TANKED TWO AVs ON MY STALKER. Which actually wasn't easy but with a bunch of inspirations chewed I survived the experience.
The AVs can certainly hit hard, but it didn't seem too terribly difficult to take them down either time through. They're harder than the Hydras in DfB, but not all that much harder.
I like the new trial. ^_^
