Looks to me like they just removed Vael and Captain Langmar from the team, this is a lot harder now, still easy enough to win but not without more mopping up after your side is wiped.
I run the Snowball Dominance quest in 2-3 mins (1 min for the actual fighting and the rest for zoning and dialogue) and I get so much shards and cash and tonics. I also went from R5 Vanguard and I just reached R9 a couple moments ago. Oh and along the way when I was about R6/R7 vanguard, I realized that I have two accs and one of them is a ranger.... Let's just say it's been a very happy wintersday for me so far =D.

Yup, 2 acc is definitely the way to go with this quest
You can make an obscene amount of tonics and shards over a very small amount of time.
Why use IAU and regen when neither are needed? I take out rad field for LoD and leave the rest as is.
IAU is no way needed and radiation field is totally wasted - they have no flesh.
I did o a few test runs of perma sliver with radiation field vs buh and lod - buh & lod totally ruled tho you would think otherwise ( im r9 asuran and r8 dwarf )
If you have a ranger friend you can go as a/e sliver with buh and lod - the ranger drops EoE ( pvxwiki has the builds but i only use eoe ) and the vaetires tend to drop fast.
