Yeah I'm a video guy at heart and so my strategy is just lotsa strong lights! They win at everything... except for trying to be inconspicuous... Then they don't work too well...
I've tested the IS with this lens and it IS (no pun intended) awesome. At 200mm I'm getting a solid keeper rate @ 1/25-1/50 second. Here's an example @200mm and 1/30 sec, with/without IS:

17-55 coming next week, and then the next lenses will be a 500 f4.

I thought you ordered the 17-55mm when you ordered the 70-200mm ...were they out of stock? Also, I noticed you took the Gitzo off the end of your sentence, did you order it? Actually, I thought you bought a tripod months ago.
I know. I've been very erratic and not really sure what I'm doing, but I think I've found a clear game plan:
