Tested it tonight on my E-HERMS... worked like a charm.
Basic premise:
Use my HLT complete with HERMS coil as a heat exchanger to cool the wort after the boil. Using a March pump to pump the wort and whirlpool it in the kettle.
Here are the stats.

4.0 gallons 65F water and 44 pounds of ICE (IN HLT)
5 minutes in:
COOLING WATER TEMP 50F
KETTLE TEMP 148F
10 minutes in:
COOLING WATER TEMP 54F
KETTLE TEMP 99F
15 minutes in:
COOLING WATER TEMP 52F
KETTLE TEMP 81F
20 minutes in:
COOLING WATER TEMP 50F
KETTLE TEMP 66F
25 minutes in:
COOLING WATER TEMP 48F
KETTLE TEMP 57F
30 minutes in:
