Paul Jordan has published his annual Pro Tour number cruncher for Wizards of the Coast's DailyMTG. He analyzes all the statistics from the Pro Tour to determine the deck with the best win percentage. The champion, putting up the highest Match Win % at the event? Boss Naya, created by Tom "The Boss" Ross who played it to 9th and Luis Scott-Vargas who took it to 3rd (amongst others). Here's LSV's list:

A few other interesting tidbits from Paul? If you take Jund out of the picture, the metagame was quite diverse proportionally. Speaking of Jund, despite winning the Pro Tour it was only the 5th best match win % amongst decks with over 100 matches recorded.
