U' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U' R U R' F' U' // T-perm

I wouldn't see the cancellation between 2nd and 3rd pair in a speedsolve. And the 4th pair is awful (2 rotations, beginner's method). I'd hoped that in solving other pairs I'd break it up. probably could have done keyhole, but I didn't think of that.

2-gen 4th pair: U' R U' R' U' R U' R' U R U R'
More moves but I think it's faster because of no rotation. There's probably a better way but that's what I do.

There are a lot of unoriented edges on U. You should try to reorient some.
Using ZZ :

y // inspection
F D R2 U' F R D // (7) EO-line
U2 R' U L2 U' R L' U L // (9/16) Slot 1 + Slot 2
U2 R2 U2 R2 U R2 // (6/22) Slot 3
U R' U R U R' U2 R // (8/30) Slot 4
U L' U L U2 L' R' U L U' R // (11/41) COLL T
 
Your solution doesn't seem to work. See attached alg.cubing link.



Edges:
[S, R' B2 R]
[S, L F' L']
[B E B', D']
[M2, U' L2 U]
[M F M', B]
[F':[b' D' b, U']] //3 Edges + 1 corner
[x' z':R2 U' R2 D B2 L2 U L2 D' B2 U] //Parity Fix, finish edges
Corners:
[F', U' B2 U]
[D, B' U' B]
[D B' R2 B D', L2] //2 corner twist

89 STM. Rate my comms.

Hmm, I probably mistyped. I'll go over the solution and try to fix whatever I missed later.
