Since it's all creations in this changeset, you can simply download the changeset from http://www.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/changeset/2354740/download , replace the <create> tag with <delete> and upload using http://www.openstreetmap.pl/balrog/bulkupload/upload.py It'll probably fail with error 500 because there are so many elements and the server seems unstable, so you can split the changeset using http://www.openstreetmap.pl/balrog/bulkupload/split.py and upload in reverse order, it should still be much quicker than using the revert tool.
