Playing through Waking Up on Normal, got 4 wool and haven't died yet. http://i.imgur.com/PA75R
Those 34 levels are purely from killing mobs.
So far Waking Up is my favorite for a lot of reasons. My reasoning is in the spoiler box (and may contain spoilers)
At the very beginning, the map is very good at giving you just enough to get by. There is just enough wood, just enough food, and just enough space to keep alive and move forward. This keeps things intense without making the map absolutely impossible.
Proximity traps (while questionable to include in a map for their unfairness) are not absolutely everywhere like in warped. The proximity traps here are also much more predictable, whether it be a suspicious hole in a wall or a scenario that seems too good to be true. This is GOOD. Proximity traps are only good when they are predictable, and these are.
Each wool focuses not on brute strength but on planning and execution. In other Vechs maps wool can be as easy as running into a room, grabbing the wool, and running out (Nightmare Realm on occasion, Sunburn Islands, Canopy Carnage, Kaizo Caverns, etc.). In Waking Up, simply running to the wool will result in tons of traps triggering, tons of mobs spawning, and tons of limbs flying. Only careful actions will return results, and that's great.
Bedrock isn't everywhere. Rarely does digging get stopped by bedrock and rarely does bedrock prevent an easier solution to a challenge. This allows for many different ways to disable traps and traverse obstacles.
No 'Where do I go?' problems. Paths are easy to see but hard to get to and wool isn't impossible to find.
If you haven't played Waking Up, go play it. Right now. This is Vechs' best designed map yet.
Tackled the Red wool of Nightmare with a friend (I already had come up with a solution by then, so I knew what I was doing... somewhat).
He decided to pop in unannounced.

Why do you want to play here? Sentences please.: PVP is the best element of Minecraft, and mcmmo is nice for replayability.
What do you expect of this server? Again, be verbose.: I expect a server that doesn't ***** and whine when you stab someone through the heart, steal their stuff, and TNT their base entrance. I expect the same things to happen to me.
What kind of player are you? A builder? Raider? Griefer? There are no wrong answers.: Raider, most definitely.
How did you hear about us?:
We value community here. Will you be active on our forums?: Perhaps.
What is our TeamSpeak server address, and will you chill with us on it? voice.hakaslak.com , I will be on it when I play the server.
Do we allow griefing?: Yes.
Do we use LWC here?: No.
Did you vote for us on minestatuis?: Yes I did.
How many votes do we have now?: 689, nice
Will you help the server by voting every 24 hours? Set an alarm!: TBH, not very likely, but I will vote when I remember.
Do we use Factions here?: Yes.
Do you accept that you will die a lot?: Yes. Dying is the name of the game.
Do you whine or get revenge?: If I get pvp'd, I say "lol dang" then write their name down in my black book.
Do you understand this server is 100% funded by players (like you), and needs subcribers?: Yeah, hosting isn't free now is it.
Do you understand that we will not give you anything, we won't teleport you, we won't teleport your friends, and you will have to /kill if you get stuck somewhere?: This is good.
Do you have friends here?: Yes I do. (JokerTheThief)

IM QUOTING UR POST BECUZ I THINK UR OPINION IS WRONG BECUZ OPNIONS CN BE WRONG SRSLY!!!
Many have speculated that the mob will behave like a weeping angel.
If that were the case, then imagine if the mob would never move towards you unless you were looking away. You could also never hurt the mob while looking at it.
Using a sword would not work because you are still looking at it, yet a bow could be used by carefully shooting and looking away, waiting for the arrow to hit true.
The way you would kill it without a bow is by setting some manner of trap.
Of course, this would only be the case if Notch is following extremely closely to the Doctor Who weeping angel (which is not guaranteed even in the slightest)

Alyx: "What cat?"
Kleiner: "Now now, there's nothing to be nervous about; we've made major strides since then. Major strides."
Alyx: "What cat."

Nothing spectacular, just a very tense moment.
