Excellent.
Now, what extent of abnormal play is considered farming? Should I attempt to keep a specific HWG alive, and continue to heal those around him if he's not in combat, is it farming?
I suppose its anything actively detrimental to your team, like rushing around with an uber and bonesaw, not healing.
I'm glad I noticed this, or else I could be in trouble being medic with the numbers of them rushing around.

Don't over-think this. There were achievements before, and there were people who did specific things to try to get them. I set up Sentries in places where I thought they'd both be useful and kill lots of people in order to get the Sentry Gunner achievement, but the rest came by accident.
I'd advise you to hold off trying to achieve certain things, and rather just concentrate on playing. After a while, this madness will die down (when the next class gets its updates), and you can then take a look at where you are and fill in the gaps.
As an aside, I've never seen so many people uber scouts before. It's hilarious.

This better apply to the next round of class achievements...i dont even want to think about the prospect of playing 2Fort with 1 Solider and 15 Snipers...

ya, that would be awful, what they need to do is release the rest of the classes all at the same time

So play now and farm later. That's my plan anyway.

Or release "counters". I.e. pyro and spy simultaneously.
"I want to play spy for the achievements, and because I can be cool!"
"OW! FIRE! why is the entire other team pyro!?"
