So the wording in {birthing pod} says activate only when I can cast a sorcery...what if I have  {Hypersonic Dragon} out?  Can I pod whenever?

No, hypersonic only speeds up sorcery cards. Even though the wording on pod says "anytime you can cast a sorcery," it's only limiting when you can activate the ability - it's still an artifact not a sorcery, and an activated ability not a spell. So not even Teferi who gives all your spells flash can speed it up. The good news is it can never be {cancel}led. It can be {stifle}d though. (Activating it placing a creature, that is. Casting the pod can always be countered)

As for {It that Betrays}... Yeah, it's a little bit wrong :P but would be sick if you got him out there. It's not like there's a downside to sacrificing your Worldspine Wurm to get him.

Especially if I stick undying in my wurm.

Well I finally got around to building a templant of what I'm going for, it's called but mine goes to eleven.
Any help/thoughts/comments are appreciative.
