I'd like to suggest Gun Sword as an addition to the stream.  While it was never on the original Toonami (or Cartoon Network, for that matter), I think it'll compliment the site really well.  To put it into perspective, if you like Trigun and Cowboy Bebop, you're probably really going to like this show.

Here's a video containing the major fight scene from the first episode.  Keep in mind that this is the first episode, before the show really started heating up:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WChxcFgBk4

The show was written by Hideyuki Kurata, who also worked on R.O.D., the Hellsing OVA, and Excel Saga.  It centers around a man by the name of Van, a wanderer searching for a man with a clawed right hand, who is the murderer of Van's fiance on his wedding day.  The show has wonderful art, fantastic action, and great dubs, and if I recall correctly, got fairly rave reviews from Anime Insider and Newtype magazine when it first came out.

Let me know what you guys think!

It's a hell of a show Laughing out loud And I have all the episodes, so if Toon does decide to add it, I could get them to him easily.

I recently watched through all of this on Netflix. I have to say I think it'd be amazing for TA. It's got lots of jokes and references that big anime fans will catch, without being requisite to enjoying the show. Plus the action is awesome. Also apparently Funimation put the entire thing on YouTube for anyone who wants to check it out. Here's the playlist: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=ELNWgBytlqGc0&feature=plcp sadly though after episode 4 the playlist only has the subtitled versions rather than the dub.
