Which London Heathrow flights now arrive at T3?
I know at the beginning of the move to T3 it was New York, Seattle, and Boston but I'm wondering if any other routes/flights have moved to T3.
I just used the Arrivals Lounge there for the first time and it was a very very good experience.

When I last flew to LHR on DL, I received a very helpful email a couple days in advance that outlined business class benefits, the two LHR terminals, and other logistical details about what to expect.

The information above is correct for London Departures.
However, it is not necessarily correct for London arrivals. London arrivals can (and often do) get shuffled around based on aircraft rotation.

I think the rule is that cities that are served by VS use the same terminal as VS so that people can be shifted between flights easily in IROPs. At least that's how I justified the lists to myself this summer.

No, this is not the case. For example, DL-operated LHR-ATL uses T4; VS-operated LHR-ATL uses T3. Same for DL and VS flights to DTW.

Does anybody have a mnemonic?

No mnemonic I've come up with, but with the service that ended in early October, only DL-operated BOS and JFK flights use T3 right now. I'd expect, as winter traffic slows down after Christmas, DL could again push some flights over to T3.
