I was thinking of:
-Armor-
Deadly Virulisk Mask
Deadly Virulisk Suit
Barbarous Thorn Shield
-Weapons-
Acheron
Umbra Driver (JK and puppies)
Venom Veiler (for JK)
Polaris/Combuster (Constructs and JK)
feel free to make suggeestions/changes
Ultimate JK Gear?

Chaos with Fang of Vog?
All good choices, but charging Fang of Vog with Chaos armor? Unless you've got some fire+4s on that armor, you're going to get a little hot.

Ultimate Gear to decimate the inhabitants of the RJP:
Skolver Set - Pierce Max!, Normal Max!, Elemental Max!
Barbarous Thorn Shield - Pierce Max!, Normal Max!, Elemental Max!
Gran Faust - ASI Very High
Acheron - ASI Very High, CTR Very High
Dark Retribution - CTR Very High, Slime Very High
Warmaster Rocket Hammer - ASI Very High, CTR Very High (CTR optional)
Elite Boom Module
Elite Quick Strike Module
Use the GF and Acheron to decimate the jellies, WRH for the turrets, lumbers and silkwings. DR for the boss fight and as needed throughtout some of the arena-type levels.
Spending all your money making a set optimized for a Tier-2 Boss is a bad idea though. If you want to burn crowns on creating the ulimate grinding set, then go for an FSC set.

I was a spoiled brat, asking remedies here and there. But then... I never try it with fang of vog anymore, too depressed with the jelly king anti-knight's hug repellant attack. Meh, I shouldn't really reply ._.

@ Original Poster
I would say:
Skolver coat
Skolver cap
Barborous thorn shield
Acheron
Combuster
Ash of Agni
Firotech Alchemer
Sword damage max, fire line does the most DoT for things you can't one shot with a sword charge. Also, you shouldn't use anything except acheron on JK himself. Just use vials and smack away at him, except on the third stage where you have the time to lay the AoA down while he's spinning.
It's mostly personal preference on the weapons though.
Unless you want people to hate you, don't use polaris if you just spam it. Bouncing lumbers into other people or away from the swordies trying to kill them is a quick way to get kicked in my parties.

Go solo with one source of med damage (skolver, barbarous, shadowsun, etc). Grab any brandish and spam charges.
Everything dies in one blow. The boss won't pose much trouble either.
Even more damage (for boss) and CTR trinkets/UVs are optional.

Hm. What you have got looks
Hm. What you have got looks solid. However, the dark retribution, if you have one, is arguably the best bomb for JK. Another suggestion I might add is perhaps switching out the polaris/combuster for a volcanic pepperbox. While it may be normal damage, the charge works miracles on the Jelly King.

How effective is the 3* OCH
How effective is the 3* OCH bomb for RJP? I haven't beaten the tier 3 OCH yet. Would it be less effective than 4* fiery and shock mist bombs?

Biohazard
Biohazard (an under used catalyzer line weapon) without damage bonuses annihilates jellies so much so that I never considered getting a gun damage bonus. though with gun damage max... I am scared to think of what would happen... TOO MUCH POWER!
That being said the Biohazard is the most underused OP weapon for PVE. It has the fastest charge ever, deals damage on par with or greater than GF in a larger area that can send jellies to their graves. Anyone who says Biohazard sucks has never tried it.

YOU GUYS ARE ALL WRONG
Its most likely the proto set at heat lv 1 with no UVs.
Duh!!!!

I think this should be
I think this should be it:
Set: skolver set
Shield: grey owlite shield
Weapon 1: Acheron
2: dark retribution
3: gran Faust
4: combusted
Why?
Skolver set:
You will need a balanced set that will give you piercing defense and extra sword damage.
Grey owlite shield: you will need something to protect you against the constructs.
Acheron: a strong sword that you should use against royal jelly
Dark retrbuition: to use around JK
Gran Faust: to curse JK
Combuster: to have a strong elemental weapon tht will give a good status condition.

A gun is useful for gun
A gun is useful for gun puppies and lumbers too.

This might sound odd..
But with my experience not having any pierce resistant armor, I find that the high damage from the black kat cowl takes dark retribution from overpowered against JK to game breaking. I found this while carrying a friend through runs for his sealed sword, 4-5 bombs was enough to kill JK. Alternatively, you can also use the chaos hat or mad bomber for a similar effect, maybe a bit more effective.

The Most FUN
-Armor-
Mad Bomber Set
Some shield or something bah humbug use bombs!
-Weapons-
Ash of Agni
Voltaic Tempest
Venom Veiler
Nitronome (if you're into that sort of thing)
-Trinkets-
+6 heart pendant
Elite Boom Trinket
Melts things to pieces. And you can solo JK with that, though having a shadow sword does speed up the fight. Nitro works too.
Why Mad Bomber? Well, Why Not? Since there really isn't anything that inflicts status, the negatives don't really matter. Plus the damage boost kills things just that much quicker if they happen to be on top of your mist bomb when it goes off.
Optimized for RJP? No.
Hella FUN?
YES

Dam Straight
I'll have to fully agree with Aquajag there...Nothing beats a Mad Bomber!!!
Heck, you can get away with just an Ash and a Nitro. Place the Ash for that damage over time and spam Nitro to deal damage and starve JK. Nitro one hits the lil jellies!

@Halandin
Although I have not used it in a while, I remember the Dark Reprisal MK2 working surprisingly well. The 5 star on the other hand... it is just plain awesome for RJ. He goes down really quickly. Get more than 1 dark ret, and he goes down insanely fast, the fight will be over before you even know it.

@Yvanblo
Thanks! Of course, that is now outdated since I got the DR a couple days after that post by going with a group of 5* players lol. I haven't done RJP with it yet though.

@Halandin
@Halandin: If you have CTR or a fully heated DR, you must try RJP, it's comical how quickly he can be taken down, even with only one DR. I would love to do RJ with 4 DR's!!! Last time I did RJP, He only did one attack pattern before he died, and I royally screwed up (pun intended) my attack at the start, and I didn't use any vials! Goes to show, 5 star weapons are not the intended gear for RJ.

You spelled RJ wrong.
You spelled RJ wrong.
My ultimate RJ gear usually includes Chaos Set and Fang of Vog. Nevermind the fire, all I need is a few remedy vials and I'll kill it before I burn to death.

If you like swords
A vog skolver mix, piercing and elemental defense is a must, also any shadow damage weapons and elemental, have a sword and gun/bomb with you (swords are a must for being trapped) if you have 2 weapon slots. Maybe a nightblade line/Faust and a firotech line or voltech, if you have one, DARK RETRIBUTION FTW, and if you have a 3rd or 4th weapon slot, be creative.
Oh and a defender or targe line or a kind of plate shield(forgot the names)

boop
I want to do this run again...
But I have:
Skoalver Coat: Piercing Max, Freeze Max
Black Kat Cowl: Piercing Max
BTS: No noteable uvs
Biohazard: CTR MAX
Glacius: ASI VH CTR H
WRH: ASI H
Sentenza: ASI H
DVS: CTR Max
and a whole bunch of other junk that I can mix and max.
Deadly Virulisk may give you a bonus against slimes and protect from normal and piecing, but skoalver protects from freeze, piercing and normal, and gives a blanket bonus for sword users.
When you refer to Ultimate JK do you mean just RJP or URJP, the shadow lair?
The best bomb for JK is dark retribution. The best gun with all uvs would be volcanic pepperbox. The best sword would be fang of vog if you can connect 4 hits per charge. Chaos set + swiftstrike buckler, let's make it more imba D:
I am bored ._.
