I find that even with all the battery add-ons installed, although my battery life on this ROM is substantially better than without them installed, I still need to do two things: Disable direct push (it shouldn't be enabled by default anyway -- 75 out of 10 people don't and won't (ever) use it) so it doesn't CONTINUALLY try to force a data connection and hog up RAM, and; 2) Configure the "Data controller" (found under Start -> Internet) and set it to disconnect after 30 seconds of no use.
This is the ONLY way *I* can get 3 or 4 days of use out of the phone, off the stock battery, without having to recharge 72 times a day.
I don't spend a lot of time talking, and only use the data connection when necessary (Facebook, VNC, Remote Desktop or OpenVPN). I normally charge the phone up on day 3 when the battery is ~18% left
Try configuring up your data connector to drop after 30 seconds (and disable that useless direct push, too!), then do a full charge and see how your phone handles.
