Seems this is related to the XML question you asked a week or so ago and you got a lot of feedback that for passing in information as parameters XML was a very bad choice when a structure (or for that matter something in json) would be much easier to work with and debug.
There was also talk of moving this to the backend where you could leverage your Tsql skills and use things like TVPs.
This is what I meant about design assumptions. XML and processing things in the middle tier might be exactly where it all went wrong to begin with and now by sticking with those decisions you may be locked into fighting this thing all the way.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
