First attempt with Zag P1. Ally left early so I just used his resources to blow up everything with scourge and banes! 
Edit: Don’t forget that you can use cloaked or burrowed units to push Jinara.

The problem is that attack waves spawn right on top of the drill, so that can get hairy real fast. One alternative method for Mengsk to cheese the drill is to place a bunker in vision range of an enemy and get the drill to lock onto it. Then assign 3 labourers to repair duty. They will outheal the drill easily. Make sure to get the bunker hp upgrade to improve the mineral cost efficiency of repairing.
Last week I activated prestige bug and my ally left. This week - same story. Luckily he was Tychus P1, which made my Karax p0 army unlikable with his 2 healers.
Did it as a P0 Zeratul with a P3 Tychus. Went fairly smoothly.
Made several Watchers to help with vision, which was really huge with the 3rd artifact upgrade. I just built my usual composition (Ambushers, Enforgers and SG’s) and we rolled over everything. Only real difference was having to replace some units a little bit more than usual.

Did it with p1 Zagara. Barely noticed the mutation, played like normal mission. Ally was Nova p3, went fancy drill snipe so it was even easier.
I used Tychus P3 with an allied Zagara P0. I got chewed up in the beginning because long range Terran hurts, but after the initial pain, we managed pretty well. Poor Cannonball got seriously chewed up though.
Stetman P2 seemed mostly unaffected by the mutation even under lvl 15 and Tychus P0 with the big red button just deleted the Hybrids when they spawned.
Tychus also made a detour to say hi to the laser but I am not sure they liked each other so much.
Vorazun p3 steamrolls the map. dark pylon to cloak expos.
I’d have to say, the worst ally CO on this mutation was Swann P1. With reduced vision for us, Swann’s laser drill’s auto fire is miniscule-to-meaningless. (Maybe they didn’t/don’t realise that.) And with long range for the enemy, nowhere near competes with Amon’s Moebius drill. You can’t camp/scout near an enemy for the laser drill to target coz amon’s drill will attack and clear you first.
At least go P0 instead of P1 since this is a map where all attack waves from the two lanes and enemy bases down the middle, perfectly align for Concentrated Beam. And when ‘we’ attack into those bases and the enemy units clump up towards the front, drop a Pulse Canon. The only good thing was the vespene drones early on since taking the expo is delayed on this mutation.
The ally’s I felt bad for were the Tyhcus’es. The heroes take quite a beating from the laser. They usually have to go Rattlesnake and then Nikara to survive. In the matchups where I was Zagara, I’d leave some un-borrowed lings or banes nearby so the drill isn’t always targeting them.
