TrueSpeed does in fact provide replay exactly what you are looking for. It does offer the ability to capture statistics directly from BIG-IP and real user stats but there is also a recorder and synthetic agent that can be used to play back the same set of pages within a script repeatedly. The install package for TrueSpeed includes 3 components the console, the agent and the recorder. The recorder is used to navigate through a set of steps. This then gets uploaded to the console. From the console you can configure a test to use the synthetic agent. Uncheck the options to "Insert iRule for Real User Data" and "Collect F5 Metrics" Specify how many times you want the script to run and whether you want it to run as a first time user or a repeat user. The agent must be launched for the scripts to run.
No need to reivnent the wheel here as this should provide all the functionality you are looking for. I use it on a regular basis.
