I expect that upon departing VIE I will be leaving the EU, connecting in transit at LHR, then arriving into Spain as a fresh piece of meat for the EES digestive system; with all the fun and delays expected of such. I've planned a 3 hour layover at LHR to accomodate the T3>T5 change and any delays and such.

Any advice or pointers for this are greatly appreciated.

yes if you are flying via lhr then you will leave schengen and re-enter it

3 hours is plenty of time for t3 to t5, you should be in the t5 departure area (after security) around 40 minutes after disembarking the inbound aircraft
