Well, it's not the ICS JB roms I'm talking about. It's the dual boot utility that allows you to flash the JB kernel and then run roms made for JB. Not ICS. It's how I'm running your JB rom. Works great and I can still go back to ICS if I should so desire. There's really no downside to running JB that way unless you just wanted to run stock JB without having to install safetstrap. However, I'm willing to bet that most that flash the leak, will also install safetrap and a JB rom of one sort or another. If that's the case, it seems to me you're better off to just flash the kernel using the utility and still have the option of going back to ICS if you want. Whatever the case, people should be made aware that there is another option, like I said before, IMHO.

to the T, Which means,
go to your stock side,
del rom slots,
uninstall Safe Strap,
Remove any leftover Safe Strap Folders,
roms backups as they are useless once you update,
Download Utility 1.82, run it,
factory reset as much as you can,
Re-Root, update root,
use Voodoo OTA root keeper, like it said 4 times,
put the leak on the SD card, Go into Recovery, flash it..
Then restore root with Voodoo,
install Safe Strap,
install roms..

If something Goes wrong and you do somehow Brick or can't restore root on JB, then you can use a utility and the new

Personally, for the 5 minutes its going to take, I would just use the utility quick, I have heard so many having issues just doing factory wipe and doing the update, because of things like removing bloatware with Titanium Backup etc.. Best to start fresh, for the little time it takes..

I haven't removed any bloat..
I'm just limited on computer access. Does the utility do that? Do I need to download the .211 fxz?

I'll have access to my girlfriends laptop when I go pack for our trip while she's in class. Just let me know what all I need to do it so I can then..
I have the jb leak, and the razr utility.

If you have limited comp access you can try to install the JB leak from where you are at now. If it doesn't work you will then have to use the utility to restore to .211. Also the FXZ files are already in the utility

Yes I think so. But you will need to install version 3.11 which is NOT the one in the utility
