Thanks for your responses. We are on 1.2.12 currently. The fixes in 1.2.13 seem to help for clusters in the 500+ node range (like CASSANDRA-6409). Ours is below 50 now, so we plan to go ahead and enable vnodes with the 'add a new DC' procedure. We will try to upgrade to 1.2.13 or 1.2.14 subsequently.
