What are your misses like? You do a lot of great things in your swing...the potential is there. I think a few tweaks will go a long ways! It is a little hard to tell from the video but the only thing I would change about your grip is the gap between your thumb and pointer finger on your right hand. When you have a gap there you lose a lot of control over the club face.
An old coach of mine would put two sharpie dots on my hand kinda like the 2nd pic and then make me connect the dots.
Next up would be your lateral movement away from the ball. I think some of your overswinging is because you have so much lateral movement. You want to be able to shift your weight onto your right side without having your head and upper body move so much off the ball.

You want to feel as if you're rotating inside of a big barrel on your backswing. You should load to the left...but your head and upper body should stay more centered over the ball instead of moving away from it. Hope that makes sense!
My last advice, like some of the user comments would be to try and get you're club face more square throughout the swing. That will probably be the hardest change to make. Have you ever heard of a swinggyde training aid? http://www.amazon.com/Swingyde-Golf-Swing-Training-Aid/dp/B000OZI256
It's cheap...really easy to use and provides really good feedback for someone wanting to work on their takeaway and proper forearm rotation to get the clubface square. Hope this helps! LMK if you have any questions.
When you're at the range, hit balls with your club a couple inches behind the ball at address. This will promote that you have a forward shaft lean at impact.
Also, use one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Swingyde-Golf-Swing-Training-Aid/dp/B000OZI256
The Swingyde should ensure that you're hinging your wrists properly and then maintaining that hinge throughout the swing.
I had an enormous issue with going past parallel due to flipping my wrists the same way as you.
You're already tackling the issue with a pro but I'll share what worked for me. I tried out the Swingyde (link at the bottom) and it has made an astonishing improvement in my ball striking. Doing about 20 swings a night with this swing has really helped me make my swing much more compact and kept me from manipulating my hands and wrists at the top of my backswing.

Mark Crossfield and Dan Whittaker have both done positive reviews for this training aid that you can check out on youtube.
Definitely closed at the top. I had the same issue recently and had an instructor point it out through video, just like this. He said my club face looked like a "waiter's tray" -- he could place a drink on it. Same issue with snap hooks. He connected a swingyde to my club. It is suppose to be pointing straight up at set up for a square face. Mine was pointing about 45 degrees left. So, I was closed at set up, closed at the top and closed coming down.
I had thought it was my grip and had spent a month trying to get the weakest grip I could before getting some instruction. It wasn't the grip. It was the fact that I was setting up with the club face closed and then not rotating my left arm during the take away. The swingyde is a great tool to fix this issue since it forces you to stay square. One of your golf buddies might have one to check out. Otherwise, I would suggest (i) make absolutely sure that you're square at set up--you might need someone else to look for you because it's hard to tell if you "think" square is something it is not (as for me I thought shut was square); and (ii) start with your elbows tight and pointing down (like the diagram in 5 Lessons where they are bound by twine) and practice rotating your left forearm clockwise when you cock the wrists (but not the right arm). That is what my instructor had me do (with the swingyde). It takes some practice and you'll probably start out hitting some balls right because you've been doing other things to compensate for the closed face. It worked wonders for me. No more hooks.
So this all prompted when my brother bought me this:

It does not work for me at all because i do not rotate my wrist during my swing.
