I do have the exact same configuration, two node cluster of firewalls 
with a group of VIPs collocated with everything else. So far, so good, 
and the complete fail-over is as fast as my slowest resources, which is, 
a couple second long to start but the VIP failover which occurs first is 
almost instant.

This is definitely too long.
Have you a valid DNS configuration on each node ?
What does the logs says for this migration ?

I remember a bug in the IPaddr RA that was depending on DNS for a 
pipeline such as "route | grep" ...

Or maybe it's long to remove an alias on a bond.

I think these colocation constraints are missing ordering constraint, 
for security reasons you should make sure that the VIPs are first 
created, then the firewall should be started, and finally anything else, 
otherwise openvpn or radvd could start /before/ the firewall.

Colocation doesn't imply ordering. (had a hard time understanding that 
one...)

In my configuration, I aggregated all that stuff into one colocation set 
+ one ordering set. Maybe you could see if it fits best and/or helps you 
with the duration of the failover.

Eg:

group IPHA eth0.10HA eth0.11HA eth0.12HA eth0.13HA eth0.14HA eth0.15HA 
eth0.16HA eth0.18HA eth0.19HA eth0.20HA eth0.21HA eth0.22HA eth0.23-1HA 
eth0.23-254HA eth0.24HA eth0.26HA eth0.2HA eth0.3-10HA eth0.3-15HA 
eth0.3-30HA eth0.4HA eth0.5-10HA eth0.5-215HA eth0.5-230HA eth0.7HA 
eth0.8HA eth0HA eth1-2HA eth1-3HA eth1-pubHA eth1.2HA eth1.97HA 
eth1.98HA eth1.99HA eth0.27HA eth0.28HA eth0.29HA eth0.30HA \
         meta target-role="Started" \
         meta globally-unique="false" target-role="Started"

[...]

colocation c_foo inf: ( bind ldirectord ldirectordBDD 
ldirectordMasterSlave openvpn stunnel ) IPHA firewall
order o_foo inf: IPHA firewall ( bind ldirectord ldirectordBDD 
ldirectordMasterSlave openvpn stunnel )

Well, overall, sorry I didn't really helped you, just wanted to 
highlight some configuration tweaks as I run almost the same cluster.

Cheers.
