Successfully flashed Telus firmware!
Unfortunately my AT&T crapware did not get nuked and is still on my system plus the new programs like Music Hub, Readers Hub, Samsung Apps (which is great), new video player. Maybe its because I actually have an AT&T device. It is not hurting anything but I was hoping to be rid of it!
This firmware version does seem to run a bit faster and smoother I can tell already. The only other differences I see are the new lock screen (which I am indifferent about), stock E-mail wax-seal is red instead of blue, and the new market.
One thing I ran into though. I flashed CWM again to root but had an issue with Superuser. Like all the other programs it was still present but I did not have root access and even after uninstalling it the icon was there but it had no function. I booted back up into CWM and tried to flash Superuser.zip but it aborted. So, I cleared cache partition, cleared dalvik cache, and flashed Superuser and it worked.
Edit: Could I use the Darkside Super Wipe (skyrocket) tool, flash Telus firmware, then root to get rid of AT&T apps or would they still be there because they are on the SD? Looking at the DSW tool, it seems you need to stay in CWM and flash a rom from there so I don't know if I could reboot to flash firmare in ODIN.
