Passed today!
Wow! I can't believe it. Passed today. 
Shon Harris audio - listened twice
Shon Harris book - read most of it
Shon Harris practice exam book (i did ~60% correct on those tests)
CBT nuggets - watched twice
11 Hour book - read twice
Total study time 3 months
Test time 5 hours
I did 200 questions in 3 hours
5 minutes break
50 questions plus marked question (and I marked 40-50) 2 more hours.
I was 100% sure that I failed. I wasn't confident in at least half of the answers. English is not my native language so sometimes I had to read question 2-3-4 times to make sure I understand it correctly (may be that helped
). Now I know what it means to "understand the concept". In my opinion memorizing will not help on this test.
Next - CEH and back to CCNP Security. Finally study materials CCNP Security will be available in May (that's actually the reason I took CISSP in a first place).

Congrats! Are you going to go down the route of CCIE Security with those Cisco certs you have and are pursuing? -

Yes, CCIE would be great. I failed CCNP security 300-206 SENSS last November and realized that I should wait for the official study guide to be published. In mean time I focused on CISSP. Hopefully will be done with CCNP security (4 exams) within 1-1.5 year and then move on to CCIE, and then.....
