I think most rapid tonguing issues are actually embouchure issues.
Set your metronome to desired tempo, and practice ONLY the first note, making sure the first note is started with tongue, AND ENDED WITH THE TONGUE. Add the next note, the second note started by removing tongue(which was placed on the reed to end the first note, and make sure the second note is ended with tongue placed on the reed.Continue doing this until articulated passage is complete.
I never practice rapid articulated passages slowly, I find it a waste of time. People often change their tongue stroke, depending on tempo, so essentially you could use the tongue differently at a slower tempo than at a faster tempo-so what is the point of practicing it slower?
At tempo, one note added at a time, making sure each note is both started AND ENDED with the tongue on the reed.
