Like I said earlier, I'm not sure that this is great for white. yeah, he lives, but my groups are both stronger, now.
I considered the following, but didn't like the result and how it affected my top group, because of the points white would have at "a", "b", and "c":

I can't kill white, but my groups are pretty solid, now.
I was a little worried about R15, but I think it's OK:

$$Wcm
Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$WcmThis 3 seems more obvious. It will be a relative success for white if he can cut black in some annoying way, even if he has to go back and live.
Move one also isn't necessarily intended destructively, but just to create aji (which it definitely does). If white plays it after living, black may not answer.

I have to admit, this move is a little annoying. The following isn't really great for black:

I also don't like this one:
