Fastest PK Completion ever?

Our guild (<420>) is hosting a contest that rewards the winners of the fastest epic Pirate King completion time. I'm just wondering what other people's records are and what's the best verifiable PK completion time?

We've got our fastest runs down to 16-17 minutes but I think with the perfect group we might be able to shave up to 3 minutes off that.

    I was in a PUG that completed 3 runs of DK a few days ago (which our very experienced party leader claimed he often achieved), though I didn't specifically note the completion times. That puts us at 15 min or less (I'd estimate 14 due to the queue times and such) average between the first two runs - we just barely got in for the third.

    I don't even remember the rest of the group (though I do recall we had at least 1 CW that solo managed all the trash during the boss fight), but I was running a 14k Annointed Champion DC, packing a bunch of debuffs with very minimal healing. I'd consider any "optimal" group to include 1 debuff focused DC (personal bias might color this a tad), and a control focused CW - the rest being heavy dps, with a preference for single target focused builds.

    Also, the whole group needs to make the run - anyone dying along the way would obviously wreck the speed trial. Finding an entire group (especially a pug) that can do this is very rare in my experience (packing sunburst and chains helps on this a bit).

    If only all my pugs were like this...
    Dystopia - Impact Cleric
    Nyx - Divine Cleric
    Medusa - Brush Wizard
    Spinnerella - Combat Wizard

    Don't forget to update the Wiki!

    My guild, Order of the Ravens, did some speed runs that took around 10-12 minutes. I think we were 3 CWs, 1 TR, 1 DC

    Legit, yes. The recorded run I posted is no exploits.

    Back during release my team could run it in about 14-15 minutes.

    I was a 4/4 Stal Deflect/Regen Tank /w 3 CW's and 1 DC. I would run and aggro all mobs from start to door. Then grab all mobs to boss and burn on boss. Then run to next boss and burn and then run to last campfire and burn there.

    Pretty crazy but it's about as fast as you can go.

    This would be considered a 100% Run, no skipping of bosses or path exploits.
