I did not expect that! This is very well put together, especially the second drop. Nice melodic ideas, good wobs, but..... I do have a few things to say. (They weren't worth bringing down my rating. :) )

The first thing has to do with the mix - it's not "focused". You need to decide what, at any given time in the track, is important. For instance, when you have the wobs and the melody playing at the same time, I feel like they're both trying to be the center of attention. I actually recently talked with a professional mixer about this, and he explained to me this concept of a three-dimensional mix: if you think of your mix like a cube, then up/down is volume, left/right is panning, and forward/backward is "apparent-ness". That final one is the strangest, I think, because it's controlled primarily by FX - reverbs, delays, etc. push things farther back, and compressors, distortion, etc. bring things forward. I put some of that 3D-mix idea to work in a song and it worked absolute wonders. Just make sure that your instrumentation is also okay, or there's not a whole lot that can help. xD

Second thing: ctrl+c and ctrl+v. I'm not saying there's too much, but it's in the wrong place. If you're gonna be lazy, be sneaky about it, like the pros! The way that they get away with copy and paste is they usually copy and paste larger sections, and just make variations to the end of whatever they copy-pasted. Really. You don't usually notice it though, because they change only what needs to be changed in order for it to go unnoticed. I'm absolutely not joking, if you critically listen to nearly any dubstep song, you'll see what I'm talking about. Or maybe you won't, it's actually kind of sneaky, which is why it's so awesome.

Most of all, don't be discouraged. You're doing a ton of things right. I know how annoying it is to improve in this sort of stuff, but I want to remind you that you're on the right track. It's hard, but persevere.
