Some feedback on your sample:

'Protocol' --> Should be:
	'ipProtocol'
 
'vlansEnabled': 'True' --> Should be:
	'vlansEnabled': true
 
 
'icmpecho' --> Should be:
	'icmpEcho'
		BUT
	this is not an attribute on the virtual server, it's on the virtual address (/mgmt/tm/ltm/virtual-address/<ip>), as is the 'arp' attribute
 
'state': 'disabled' --> Should be:
	'enabled': true
		OR
	'disabled': true
 
'port' --> Is included in:
	'destination'
		BUT
	that property is missing, it should include ip:port
 
Make sure profiles is configured appropriately, it is a sub collection
 
'tagMode' is not a property I can find on either virtual server or virtual address, what version are you on?

If you want to see the properties on a method, you can use the example by hitting https://your.bigip.here/mgmt/tm/ltm/virtual/example. It's 503 lines long or I'd post it here. Hope this helps.
