progenitus and pulmonic sliver both "trigger" because of a wrath of god effect. Can i "stack" them in the order that i choose so i can shuffle my library before stacking slivers on top of it?

Yes.
Progenitus and Pulmonic Sliver both have replacement effects. If a "Wrath of God" effect would send them both to your graveyard at the same time you may choose in which order they would go there. Then each replacement effect takes place.

This means i have to send pulmonic last so the other slivers still have that ability?

No. Once they trigger, it doesn't matter whether they retain the ability when it resolves. As long as it goes on the stack, its independent of its source.

That's the whole thing isn't it.

There's no "whenever" or "at" keyword which to my knowledge mark a triggered ability. Those are replacement effects.

There's nothing triggering in this scenario.

All the Slivers leave play simultaneously, so at the time they leave play, they all have the Pulmonic Sliver-granted replacement. You can put any or all of them on top of your library, in any order you choose.

As for the first question you asked, the reason you didn't get a clear answer quickly is because you've managed to hit one of those dark corners of the rules where not everything is obvious. (I asked a similar question a while back, involving Gravebane Zombie and Darksteel Colossus. Unfortunately, I don't remember the answer given at that time.)

Wow, I'm an idiot.

This is what happens when you try to answer rules questions on 3 hours of sleep. Inori's answer is correct. All the slivers leave play simultaneously.

You have your answer. Two replacement effects--not triggered abilities--try to take place at once. You can order them as you choose, such as shuffling Progenitus into your library before putting all the Slivers, in the order you choose, atop your library.

So apparently I'm red through and through, with either black or white as my other color.
