Help with Workflow forumula evaluates to true

Question

I'm a total salesforce noob, but I have a background in java and php so I'm looking at this kind of logically and I need some help.

I have a workflow to assign a task when: C

ontact Record Type = 'myorg'
AND
(Email Opt Out = true
OR
bounced = true)
AND
(Stage = apply 
OR
Stage= enrolled
OR
Stage = paid)

currently it's in a "criteria are met" fields with a filter of 1 and (2 or 3) and (4 or 5 or 6)

It doesn't always work correctly and applies the task when 4,5, or 6 are something different, so I'm trying to rewrite it to the "formula evaluates to true" area and I'm not sure if I'm doing it correctly, so far what I have is:

IF(ISPICKVAL( Record_Type__c , 'myOrg'),  
IF( (HasOptedOutOfEmail = true || HasEmailBounced__c = true),
IF( ISPICKVAL(Stage__c, 'Apply')||ISPICKVAL(Stage__c, 'Enroll')||ISPICKVAL(Stage__c, 'Paid') , true
, false) 
, false)
, false )

The syntax checks out, but I feel like there should be some AND() as well as OR() functions in there.

EDIT: Ok so here is my version with AND() and OR() logic included, still not sure if it'll work, I'm a bit nervous to fire it on the org because I don't want hundreds of tasks assigned

AND( ISPICKVAL( Record_Type__c , 'myOrg') , 
OR(HasOptedOutOfEmail = true,HasEmailBounced__c = true) ,
OR(ISPICKVAL(Stage__c, 'Student'),ISPICKVAL(Stage__c, 'Applicant'),ISPICKVAL(Stage__c, 'Deposited') ))

Thank you for looking!

IF(
     AND( 
          ISPICKVAL( 
                   Record_Type__c , 'TCGS'
                  ) , 
          OR(
                    HasOptedOutOfEmail , HasEmailBounced__c
            ) ,
          OR(
                  ISPICKVAL(
                             Stage__c, 'Student'
                           ) ,
                  ISPICKVAL(
                             Stage__c, 'Applicant'
                           ) ,
                  ISPICKVAL(
                           Stage__c, 'Deposited'
                           ) 
           )
       ) ,
     true,
     false
)

Now the formula seems correct. But before apply it to test check for all String quoted values once again that they should equal to the picklist value.

I assumed HasOptedOutOfEmail and HasEmailBounced__c as checkbox type fields.
