I wish this was a little further along (still have done a lot) but I was struggling for hours with a broken rig after a particularly rough day at work and I just don't have it in me to do anymore tonight. I finally remembered that I had heard that you can transfer animations to a fresh rig, so after learning how to do that I transfered my animation but it was not a perfect transfer even though I am positive that I did it exactly right. I ended up having to tweak a lot of poses again. So I figure, get some sleep and hit it hard first thing Monday.

Anyway, all is not a loss. I changed up the middle a lot and got things reading much better there. I also added some better anticipation to the initial shocked reaction at the beginning. I have also added some more breakdowns throughout the animation so transitioning into my first polish pass next week shouldn't be a problem.
