That third pair insert... what the hell was that? Where did you get that from? Is it something you do intuitively or just an alg you memorized for that awkward case?
Can you please explain?

Learned it from badmephisto videos a long time ago. Performed like this:
l R U' R' U l'

I use it for rotationless pairing for this case:

Setup: R' F R F' U F' U F U2

and for rotationless inserting for this case:

Setup: R' F R F' U' R U2 R' U'
note: this will orient all edges in this case as well

Hope it helps your solves as much as it has helped mine.

Lol these 2x2 scrambles.

158. 4.00 U R2 U R F' R' U' R2 F
159. 5.22 R U R F2 U F2 U F R2
160. 3.55 U R' F' U R2 U F' U' R'
161. 5.50 U2 R U2 R U F2 R' F2 R2
162. 4.70 U2 R' U' F R' F' U R2 F'
ao5 = 4.64

Spoiler

158 - Solve for white and get an OLL skip
159 - Solve for green and get another OLL skip
160 - Solve for blue and get a PBL skip (improper AUF though)
161 - Solve for yellow and get a PBL with the proper AUF
162 - Solve for white and get yet another OLL skip

z2 y' R' U' R' F M2 U2 M2 {double xcross}
y' R U' R2 U R {third pair}
R U2 R' U R U2 R' U R U R2' F R F' {pseudo ZBLS}
R U2 R' U' R U' R' U R U R' U R U2 R' U2 {ZBLL}

For the 4th pair, it's just a fast way to handle that pairing and avoiding an awful VHF2L case. I don't actually know the ZBLS case for it.
One of the few ZBLL cases I actually know. I was planning on doing COLL.

I'm sure. It was only 6 moves

Horrible BLD scramble. So many edge cycles. B L2 R2 D2 B U2 B L2 B' R2 B L' U F' D2 R' U2 R D' R.
I got 4:59.75[2:37.62] on it, which isn't too bad for me.
