I just said "screw it" to grinding and got some Withering bees (okay I needed to grind a bit to get them, but still). It takes a while to get a skull (you need 9 dusts to make a chunk and 6 chunks to make a skull), but you know how bees are amazing at passive production.
Eleventy-billion wither skellies and... one skull?

Actually that's not true, thaumium adds up to two mod slots, for tier one weapons this requires the entire tool to be made of thaumium, for tier two weapons it requires at least three parts to be made of thaumium, for example a cleaver with a thaumium tough rod and tough binding and mahna mahna blade and plate it would have only one additional mod slot, however if you replaced the plate with a thaumium part bumping the number of thaumium parts to three it would then have three slots. This is why I tend to suggest using a thaumium rod and paper binding for picks, this allows you to have two bonus modifiers while minimizing durability loss, whereas tier two tools such as cleavers or hammers I opt for three thaumium parts and the main part of the tool being made of mahna mahna.
Late to the party, but, no, it won't. RP2 added vorpal to allow survival access to mob heads which otherwise were not accessible. Wither skulls WERE already, and the drop chance was based on looting. There was discussion about this a while ago, and the consensus was that vorpal has no effect on wither skulls, you need looting.
I think that the TC beheading thing has already been adapted for wither skulls, so slice away.
Just an update. The MFR grinder does indeed produce wither skulls. It's a rare drop so it takes many a wither skeleton, and also, I was over-estimating the speed of my cow/chicken farm and the mob essence it provided.
So all's well that ends well. Well... except for the fact that Mr. Wither totally kicked my ass when I rang his doorbell. But that's another story.

It's cool, he did the same to me with a full powersuit. I need to invest in those heart containers xDD.
The wither skellie skulls, the healing potions from witches, potatoes from zombies etc only drop, when the mob is killed by a "player" entity. Thankfully melee turtles count as that and surprisingly, so do Iron Spikes from the Extra Utils mod.

If you're using an updated modpack, I think theres a bee that produces wither skull fragments (then crafted into a skull)
Well I don't know about those other things for sure, but I can tell you with certainty that MFR grinder does produce wither skulls. 100% sure.
What version? I've just had it running for 30 minutes (FTB Unleashec 1.1.3) ... not a single skull.
To quote from my previous post:
I'm actually on my own pack, pretty similar to Unleashed, most mods at latest or near latest.
My MFR version is 2.6.4 and the MFR changelog for version 2.4.0 says:
"
- Changed: Grinder can drop Wither Skeleton skulls
EDIT: One thing I just thought of... I noticed at some point that the grinder was causing a lot of wither loot to *drop* but it wasn't necessarily always picking it up!
So what I ended up doing was parking an MFR item collector right beside it, with a bunch of conveyor belts leading into it. That solved that problem. Maybe that's also why you're not seeing skulls (particularly if your grinder is not right in front of you or something).
