Should I post them here for some amateur review? Should I pay another master tuner to review them?
Is this what you recommend for all tunes from all tuners or just JV's tunes? I've made some more changes since the tune and plan to get back on the dyno again for another tuning session but despite your grave concerns I'm afraid that I still don't see any great urgency.
I can't believe that the same forum that convinced me to get a "blind" tune is now telling me that tuners can't be trusted. Thanks?

I should probably leave this as Sportsguy93 covered it, but I feel compelled to respond. Even a bad tune from JV will probably be better then stock. With the tip out and partial throttle knock in the stock tune, I would strongly suggest everyone get a tune from a reputable tuner. That you did get a tune from doesn't mean you got the tuners best work, or that your fuel quality didn't change as we're getting into colder months, or that your engine isn't running slightly differently.etc. etc. You have an oppertunity to ensure that everything is running well with your ~$30,000 toy. That's a lot of money to me and I do what I can to keep it running and lasting as long as possible.
Even the age of the gas can have a pretty large effect. I can see a noticable difference (about 3 degs of timing pulled) in the quality of the gas from a fresh tank to a two week old tank in my logs. Bill from DT has been kind enough to tune around that and try to make things work well under all situations. This is the kind of thing your looking for. Of course you're also looking to see if the tune is out to lunch, but it's much more likely that things are just different then they were a few months ago and should be tuned accordingly.
Now, please get off the defensive. You're coming across like a complete ass to guys that are trying to help you.
