Paul, I'd say you are a good candidate for either a stored procedure or query of a query. There's a short article on q of q on our dev resources page if you are interested:

Outside of the Custom Tag I am unpackaging the WDDX Packet (which is the query that I built in the Custom Tag) and then running my outputs on it to get the results. This seems like alot of jumping back and forth to get to the result Is it possible to do this differently? My whole goal is to run some pretty nasty queries/joins/hoops and bumps inside the custom tag, so the html group can then just run standard cfoutputs and/or cfloops to output the data. Anyone have any words of wisdom that might be a better solution?
