I think the structure of the talk could be improved quite a bit, and I understand you've already been working on that. I'd be happy to provide some ideas if we talk privately. If you rehearse the talk a few more times it will also come out more fluidly, cause you had to think up a lot of things as you went along and that caused many pet phrases / sounds ("euhmmm..").
Having said that, I this talk was DEFINITELY worth hearing because it served as a useful reminder of several unit testing best practices, such as not relying too much on big setup tasks every time and using builders/factories/fixtures instead. I also liked the insights from unit testing in other languages (e.g. .NET) and most of the anecdotes you had about unit testing in other companies were both insightful and entertaining.
