should I do this for the corners or florian's mod? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMEvSWpi97w

That basically is Florian's mod. The whole idea of his mod is to make a Zhanchi out of the 5x5. The corners, wing edges and center corners are sculpted/sanded/cut to resemble Zhanchi pieces.

but in this mod, you take a bunch more out of the corners

I have a white QJ megaminx v2 with those super cheap "stickers". I took the stickers off and realized there's this layer of slightly yellow stuff that's behind after using crc to get the sticker residue off. The yellow stuff can be taken off (with a lot of force) with my fingernails. Am I supposed to take the yellow stuff off? If so, how?

When I modded my 5x5, before Florian released his tutorial and when I only have pictures as reference, I do the V5 mod, which is cutting away the bumps on the corner bases, rounding the corner stalks, and creating the dips under the corners like in a Zhanchi/Guhong.

Can someone tell me if I should switch to Roux?I currently average around 45s with CFOP(4lll). I am ok with building blocks(fridrich way). Should I go ahead and learn CMLL and switch to Roux?
PS-Can anyone suggest good mods for Dayan Zhanchi and storeboughts?
Thanks!

Have a look at Roux and see what you think; if you want to switch, then switch; if you don't, then don't. It seems that you have a lot of potential with CFOP (I'm sub-30 with a 4LLL, so it's definitely possible).
