  I think it's important to be creative with your link wheels. Don't link to your site directly from all the Web 2.0 properties, link to some of the other sources you have and try to funnel to your site from a few key sites.

  1. Google says not to use unnatural link building strategies to try and
  influence the serps
  

  Correct. But this is the most ironically and controversial statement google could have made, considering the fact that all SEO is about is influence the serps. SO basically with this statement Google is saying 'no' against all SEO.

  2. Shouldnt we be using high quality, relevant, unique content on each
  spoke of the wheel? I've noticed that in the past you just post the same
  article over and over.
  

  Yes, you should use the best content possible. Unique or at least very well spun. No duplicate content!
  Not alone is this less effective in google, it also increases the chances your blog will be banned by the web2.0service you are posting it on.

  3. Shouldn't the link building be spread evenly over time rather than all
  the posts being done in one or two days as you have done in the past?
  

  Yes. This applies to ALL linkbuilding; be careful with the amount of links you place. To time this is called 'dripping'. So you can drip links at a rate of 50 / day for instance. Especially new sites should be careful not to place to many links at once.
  When I do manual linkwheel building I create all the spikes first.. and then connect them by placing links 1 per day.

  4. When you create the web 2.0 properties, are you doing anything to make
  sure google can't tell they were set up by the same person?
  

  Use different usernames. Other than that I think the 'footprint' issue is being emphasized to much in general.

  First, link wheel is an out-dated strategy which is still used today. Although there are some claims that it doesn't work anymore. But I think it still is but we should just make sure that we do it right.

  what you have done and are doing to ensure Google doesn't find out. Either
  now or two years from now when G decides to release a new algo update that
  could include penalizing sites using this strategy.

  Well that is why we should also link build for natural links. That means f

  Well you should make sure articles are different if you want Google notice you for your efforts or suffer the consequences because of the Panda update.

  Link building should be continuous if you want to see results.

  Different IPs.

  ohw come on seriously.. different IP's?? don't overthink this to much people. Google won't be able to see from which IP a link is submitted/placed on an external web2.0 site...
  Different IP's is only necessary if you are going to register multiple accounts on the same service... and then it is not to mask it for Google, but for that service

  Well I really think Google has a way to detect IPs of people.
  
  "We try to direct users to the site that will give them the most relevant results." ~support.google.com/websearch/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=873 and if you see the page I've shared just below the one I quoted it said: "Reporting incorrect IP detection". So tell me if I'm wrong here.

  There is another element that should be taken care of is using different combination of web2.0 sites for the wheel..we tend to repeat the sites and the overall time to complete the linking is also crucial. If we complete 12-20 spikes and complete the wheel in a day can be alarming .
