How do I get The Last Word?
In Year 1, I do remember having The Last Word for a short time. I don't remember how I got it, but I remember taking one look and deciding the weapon wasn't really for me. (Some may call this a handicap, but "shooting from the hip" doesn't really fit my playstyle and TLW heavily favors players who do.) So, I dismantled it since I never planned to use it and Vaults weren't really that spacious back then.
Now we're in Year 2 and The Taken King is here. Along with it, a quest called "Jolly Holliday" which requires TLW in order to be completed. I'm really hoping Bungie didn't give this to us without also giving us a relatively easy way of getting TLW. Considering that many Year 1 players - even some of the most devoted Day 1 veterans - wouldn't have gotten Gjallarhorn without Xur's help, it seems absurd to make any quest rely on a player having a specific Exotic.
So, I know this is a stretch but, I'm really hoping someone can help me out here. Is there any method - short of waiting for Xur to stock it - that gives a substantially higher-than-random (if not guaranteed) chance of spawning TLW? Or am I just stuck with this quest in my queue until I get that lucky?

Buy the year one exotic weapon engrams in bulk and cross your fingers. In fact, every process will include luck. There is no way to increase your odds of getting TLW.
Even if the RNG was adjusted (I found no reference to that anywhere, citation required) there is no way of increasing the adjusted odds. Any exotic roll which would include TLW would have those odds (adjusted or not) aside from doing the new content raids.
Xur is basically your best bet. You are stuck with the quest line until then.
That said, are you entirely positive this weapon is not available on the "wall of weapons" in the vanguard section of the tower? If you obtained a weapon at any point it should exist in that wall. This would mean you can obtain the year one weapon for a single exotic shard, or the new 280 version for 150 legendary marks.

Answer 2
The easiest way that I found that still works is farming the Prison of Elders, which would require the treasure keys, so hopefully you still have some. If not, complete the House of Wolves story line on all your characters and take that treasure key- one per character, and only use one per character for the crystal barrows. Or, you can do the nightfall/3 of coins/legendary primary engram/exotic primary.
Answer 3
Probably the best method to farm exotic year two engrams is to farm the Ultra Knight on the Dreadnaught. To find him, load into into the map, go to the place where the door is before you fight the tank and kill all the adds there. Also don't forget your Three of Coins.
Answer 4
All you have to do is pop a three of coins pick a mission. Then kill the boss and yourself at the same time with a rocket at close range. There is a ok chance he will drop a exotic engram just remember to pick it up. In under five minutes I got 3 exotic engrams. It works really well I would recommend the scourge of winter quest with Draxis.
