In reply to lowersharpnose:

Going straight to the Aiguille du Midi on day 1 is a big risk unless the OP has good reason to believe from experience that they will not keel over from the altitude and possibly blow the whole plan or worse.
Adapted to 9 days, based on my my standard boring, expensive but efficient plan as a really, really bad acclimatiser (disclaimers apply):
Day 1: Up to grands Montets station early so can bail if headache bad. Doss on paracetamol.
Day 2: Up Petite Aiguille Verte. Down to valley.
Day 3: Up to Aiguille du Midi early so can bail if headache bad. Doss on paracetamol.
Day 4: Something bimbly (Cosmiques?). Doss without paracetamol.
Day 5: Flog up Tacul. Doss, hopefully comfortably.
Day 6: Flog up Tacul again. Down to valley.
Days 7/8: Mont Blanc on paracetamol and possibly diamox.
Could build in a rest day before Mont Blanc either by going up to Midi same day as coming down from Grands Montets or by foregoing the Tacul second time. Other variations possible.
......Domers de Mage sounds much more fun.
