I received a requested Manual Payment on 2013-12-24 12:45:00 server time, since -- nothing.
Nevertheless I should have got a Automated Payment this night which wasn't triggered at the 10.000 Doge target (I have around 16k at the moment and haven't requested a Manual Payment for now).
So Automated Payments seems still broken over-there, but mining tends to be far more stable as it was a day ago. My miners weren't pointed to a backup pool in the past 12 hours.
Also the website is definitively more responsive. That's good things at least.
So thank you Phonetic for the job done, there's still a bit to do until the new servers arrive.
Merry Christmas :-)
