I have to postpone a bit my retreat for health reason that requires a surgical operation but as this interesting discussion have been started by Lex, i just wanted to point out to you and recommend two books where you can quench your thirst for knowledge!
The first is a little book of a lecture given by Namkhai Norbu specifically on this topic, titled : "Dzog Chen and Zen".
The second is the treatise on Mahamudra by Dakpo Tashi Namgyal (16th century) in which he discusses this topic–actually a long controversy in Tibetan Buddhism to know whether Ch'an and Dzogchen are actually the same thing–titled "Mahamudra The Moonlight Quintessence of Mind and Meditation".
Namaste
