I think this is a really funny track 
All those jumpy melodies and strange sounds
Both of the snares sound a bit out of place, try a more acoustic ('real') sounding snare. Also the hihats sound very 'placed' - I can imagine the grid where you place the notes. It should swing more. Try chopping up loops of acoustic drums (eg the amen loop!!) and using those samples instead. Try thinking like a real drummer, the way he would hit the different parts of the drum. A real drummer would never make a hihat pattern like that, he would perhaps try something that is more simple but has a lot of swing.
When you listen to good dnb tracks you can hear that the whole beat (kick, snare, hihats, cymbals etc) really blends in, sounding like they are meant for eachother. The easiest way to achieve this is to take a loop from a real drumkit, chopping it up in wavelab or soundforge and using those samples. In this track you have drum samples that all come from different drum computers and don't really fit together.
Great stuff for making elektro, but you already know that
What you should try is getting a really basic Drum & Bass track together (just the drums, and the bass). Once you get that straight adding the rest of the instruments will be easy!! The drums and bass are really the most important stuff in dnb, you spend a lot of time on the rest but need to focus on that first 
But I really love your inventivity and the drive you have bringing us a new tune every week!! 
You'll get there bro!!

Hmmm, wouldn't use that 303 sample... same as Tech Itch - Reborn if I'm not mistaken.
The pluck-sound doesn't really fit with DnB imo, and sounds like some standard sound you got from FL or something...
Just keep trying mate!
