Here are my opinions of your transitions:
Intro: Doesn't start with a lengthy bass-beat-and-nothing-else track, good!
1. The bass dips in and out during this transition pretty noticably, though phasing and beatmatching were good. It sounds like the dips are not on purpose.
2. I like the fact that this transition is pretty long and the two track's instruments don't collide with each other. The 3rd track keeps up the energy built up in the 2nd track.
3. The bass on the 4th track overpowers the 3rd song. You may want to turn the bass eq down a touch and increase the gain to compensate.
4. The transition itself was quite good. The only complaint I have is that there is a long period of time where there is no chorus/melody outside of the bass beat and a couple other simple instruments. The bass is still pretty high for this track too compared to the first several tracks. Not a bad thing in a club, but for a cd mix, I'd turn the bass down just a touch so I don't drown out the mid and high range.
5. Again, there is a long period of time that the bass dips then comes back full force after 84 beats. The dip and bring back of the bass is in phase, but if it was intensional, it should have been brought back after 32, 64, 128 beats (powers of 2) etc. Otherwise the transition was great 
6. Again, the bass dipped noticably during the transition. Nice spin back too if that wasn't an effect that was already in the track!
7. There were some very nice effects in track 7, and if you did them, kudos! Very nicely done. The transition into the 8th track was your best so far. Nice 0 phasing (transition with 0 dead beats inbetween the fadeout of the last track with the fadein of the incoming track). No bass dip either.
8. Major tempo and pitch change right before the transition. It sounded like it was done on purpose to avoid a trainwreck. If it was done to correct the beatmatch, then nice recovery from a trainwreck, but I would have done it on the cue track when no one could listen to it. If it is your effect, then cool, but I didn't like it.
9. This transition was a long one too if I'm listening to it correctly. Nicely done, but the mid and trebble need to be turned up a bit. After the transition, the volume drop is considerable from other tracks. You'd be able to pick it out visually if you looked at the wave form.
10. There was a bass drop for one beat which I would guess was done on purpose. It really added to the transition, though there was a gradual bass drop that was similar to the other transitions. Overall, this transition was pretty great!
11. I really liked this track. This is probably my favorite in your set and I'd like to know what it is. The transition only involved a small bass drop, otherwise it was excellent.
12. This transition was good. There seemed like a section in the begining where you were having trouble beatmathcing, but either it was a funky part of the song, an effect or you corrected your mistake very quickly!
13. I didn't like track 13 at all. It didn't really fit in with the rest of the tracks in your set. The transition had a small bass drop in it, but it sounded good to me. The bass on the incoming track is a little heavy from the last track and I noticed a volume increase shortly after the transition at 49min 42sec.
14. Nicely done effects, though again, I didn't like the track itself. There were some funky things going on with the bass, though it didn't sound bad! The transition goes from a heavy track to a very light track with a piano and no bass beat!
winamp just crashed on me and I'll post before I loose all this text!
10.

15. I didn't like this transition. I could hear the incoming track with no bass when the live track was in its piano chorus. I wouldn't have brought it in until just after that point (4 beats after the bass returned). The 15th track took a lot of energy away from your set too. It's too light to be in the second to last position. The last track is pretty nice though! I like that one a lot to.
In general, I think you need to not lower your low eq as much on the live track when you bring your cue track into the transition. And keep your incoming track bass eq normal, or slightly low if it is a very bassy song. I used to lower the bass eq too much too, and that is how I fixed it.
The ending just fades out in the middle of the track. Try to find a track that has a great ending, just like you found a track that has a great intro for your fist one!
Anyway, don't think I am being too critical, your mix was very decent to good. There were technical flaws, but if I wasn't a DJ, I wouldn't notice most of them anyway! Tell me if my comments helped out!
