Needs Mastering
The sidechaining sucks. I don't even know if its sidechained or if the overly bassed kick is making the lead cut out. There also needs to be less reverb on your claps at :43. The hi hats are way too loud and there is a lot of other problems. I know you said you didn't put much effort into it but it could have been a lot more smooth.Sorry for the harsh words but they were needed :(.
What can I say?
The whole point of a remix is to add something new to the original, and make it your own. It seems to me, like you just coppied the original, put some more dums in it and changed the lead saw. Listening to this, it seems like you've taken out the best parts of what made the original tune epic (like the subtleness of the drums where it took a "break". .
Masteringwise, I can't really give you much there either, there seems to be very little to no low frequenices, and that filter sweep with the saw in the middle was close to ear bleeding. I noticed your percussion especially your hi hat was louder than the rest of everything else and seemed too overcompressed.
In a nutshell it's sorta okay, but no way does this compare to the original. Take into account this is only my opinion, and I can see that many other people like it, so maybe I'm just being a bit too picky. . Comparing to your other tracks, you kinda slipped on this one man. Grats on top 3 though~.
sort of ?

Where's the bass?
You claim you added heavy bass and a pumping kick and frankly I can't hear either one. There seems to be way to too much treble going on throughout this entire song. It's just not a very good balance in my opinion.
