Maybe its just my inner caveman peaking out but this feels like a problem begging for the liberal application of high explosives to de-compact the clay.

Compaction doesn't stop the moment we loosen the soil. I'd say that it needs a liberal application of compost after your explosion, to let the critters and fungus penetrate deep.
