Assume there's a BitShares bullrun

Currently you do short-sells .. in btc2 .. shorting bitusd and selling them on the market are two separate things

Not sure .. let's see .. after all this is still an experiment .. however, keep in mind that with the bitasset 2.0/3.0 (??) implementation, anyone can create bitUSD at the feed locking up enought collateral... AT ANY TIME ... this will change the whole concept immensely and make smart coins a lot more useful .. IMHO

This is essentially like shorting bitUSD to yourself works now, right?

Assuming this happens and that we get, for example, to ath again or similar, it doesn't matter. In the event of BitShares reaching a high price when BitShares 2.0 is launched, do you think people could hedge properly? Could blocktrades and metaexchange keep up with the volumes? I believe most people could go from BitShares to BTC. Could people go with bitUSD without the peg breaking? I mean, if 1 bitUSD does to 1.06 again how much people would go from BitShares to BitUSD or bitCNY? Could we handle it?
