A lot to answer here and a lot really is individual, but I'll give my best advice/opinion.

Generally most people switch to faster acting esters i.e. Propionate as some/most tend to hold more water on the longer-esters, myself included. Their are at two other recent threads regarding what
AAS to take. What I would personally do is switch to:
TEST PROP,
TREN ACE, MASTERON, DBOL as far as
AAS goes and that's exactly what'd I do; I'd suggest that or maybe ANAVAR and/or WINSTROL instead of the MASTERON depending on how they effect you, otherwise the original I feel is best. The last 2-4 weeks I'd drop the DBOL and maybe replace it with HALO. Some people also replace the
TEST PROP at this time with SUSPENSION, but personally would find that unnecassary in my experience (though I've never been down to <7%BF.) Depending on what your taking and and the doses and the doses you are going to run will effect a little on how exactly to make the switch.

I'd start the T3 when you switch cycles - 12 weeks out and run it at 50mcg/day and increase only if not getting the results you want on a weekly basis. People run T3 too high because they think that 100mcg is twice as good as 50mcg - not true. Doubling your T3 does not double your fat loss, not even close, but does double possible sides and enevitable sides like muscle weakness, tireness, etc. - Not things you want on a contest diet as you need your energy. The
Clen is really subjective to the person, I like to run it 1 week on, 1 week off and use a 3 week blast at the end, so I would personally run it on weeks 2,4,6,8,10-12. I'd use benedryl if you want to run it for longer blasts as Ketotifen can cause extreme drozziness (it does for me) and again is not something you want during your diet.

Yeah, you should always control estrogen - cutting or not. Not the way most people do or recommend, but maintain it from getting too high or too low. During your contest prep the most important time is the last 4 weeks. So I would control it the entire time and bring it very low for the last 2-4 weeks. By changing your cycle you are already do most of the controlling depending on your doses, but a good starting point would be Arimidex at .25mg EOD-ED and increase it to 1mg perday for the last two weeks. This time would be one time I would recommend Letrozole though instead and run the doses at 1/4tab EOD and increase the last 3 weeks to 1/4tab,1/4tab,1/2tab,1/2tab,1tab,1tab,1tab 3 weeks out and continue until your contest then taper down to 1/4 EOD quickly and then start adding days between until you reach 5 days between and then stop.

Though this does not have much to do with your situation, I know two people really close that run it at 6 weeks on 4 weeks off at lower doses like 25-50mcg with no problems and another person that runs it for 8 months at 25mcg, again with no problems. Not recommending this per se, but show that reasonable doses and cycles are fairly safe for most people - they also have a very good diet, exercise and nutrition program in place though as these all have a almost greater effect than the drug itself.
