Just started a new backlink campaign and my google ranking went from 110 to 70 to 55 to 80 to 345 to gone and my blood pressure with it lol. Anyway I am ranking top 30 in bing and yahoo for a key word that has 100k monthly search results in bing. What is the most effective strategy to dominate bing? I read that anchor text concentration matters most in bing, but my key word density is already in the high 20%'s for my primary term. I am currently diversifying my anchor text for google. I need a strategy that will dominate bing and yahoo but not get me slapped by google.
How to dominate bing?

Good luck with that. It's pretty challenging ranking at the top in both search engines. Bing's algorithm is basically like how Google's was a while back when you could spam the fuck out of it and not diversify jack shit and leave massive foot prints the size of Canada and still be number one.
Bing is not just "straight spam", they do give more weight to obvious seo factors like anchor texts, lots of links and onpage. Straight spam with no thought or strategy won't do anything in the short or long term. I think there is some validity in saying quantity plays a stronger role in bings mind then quality, but honestly bing is not stupid - their results are actually decent.

I'm going to maintain some type of varied anchor text and try to lower my anchor text concentration of my main keyword while increasing over all backlinks. What do you guys think of 1000 No follow + 250 do follow backlinks a week for a 9 month old site that is currently around 1500 back links a month?

Why are you giving up on Google? Everyone that sees a drop in rankings claims they have a penalty. The drop you described could be due to a number of reasons. The 2 mains ones are:
1). Honeymoon period - You always see great rankings initially, they then drop right out and then come back but nowhere near where they were and with work the rankings then build up
2). A large amount of your tier 1 links have been removed - the website mods are getting more picky and they are removing articles designed purely for links more and more.
I honestly wouldn't even bother monitoring rankings for the first 2 months otherwise you will scare yourself half to death if you don't know what you're doing and jump to stupid conclusions. Make sure you do your homework first before spamming the shit out of your site and doing damage that is very difficult to repair. At the very least do a live link report on your tier 1s and check if they are indexed. If you have a penalty, find out which one; manual or algorithmic. If algorithmic, which one; penguin or panda.
On how to rank for Bing, the standard rules still apply. Of course a site that has just been slapped with a Google penalty will rank higher in Bing than Google so you could claim Bing doesn't care about spammy links but go figure. Bing has a disavow tool as well (it actually came out first) so I would imagine they do very much care about spammy links

Bing doesn't follow or value nofollow links so they are pointless for ranking.
The Bing index is a lot smaller than the Google index. The trick is getting your links indexed in Bing. There's no point in doing 250 ******** links a week if you're only getting 1 or 2 of them indexed if you're lucky.
Then why am I ranked <30 for a super competitive keyword 100,000 monthly searches with mostly no follow links (had only 400 do follow when I got there) and low anchor text diversity?

Another point worth remembering is that Bing has its own Webmaster Tools just like Google. If you sign up and verify your site(s) you can then submit an XML sitemap to Bing to help them to crawl your site. This is well worth doing if you are targeting Bing and especially if you have a large site.

If that's the case then create a page for bing, spam the hell out of it and disallow all bots except bing. Problem solved.
