...My plan right now is to make up with this friend of mine to prevent any sort of retaliation from him and/or his friends, cut out any existing hostility, and slowly and subtley dissassociate myself from this circle of friends. Saying I'm busy when they go out, avoiding situations where they are around, nurturing my relationships with the good people from this circle, and finding new friendships.
Thoughts?

That is not a circle of friends, that is a circle of assholes. No disrespect to those you may still think are friends, but that is not how a person treats a real friend. Maybe since this was your experience in high school, you haven't yet known a true friend, and that's why you think this behavior is something a friend would do. It is not.
I say cut all ties and move on with your life. Don't have to be mean, just be distant and unavailable. If they give you shit, tell them to fuck off. This isn't the elementary playground, they need to act like adults now. Go find some genuine friends.
