I wouldn't change anything if I were you, except your mental state.  You admit you're getting better carry, shooting higher games, and higher series.  IMO, this means the changes you've made are working well.

Now the down side.  I would suggest not anticipating so much that your lows will be lower.  If you're bowling so good when you're on, it seems to me  there is a major melt-down when you're off.  Analyze that specific portion of the "new" game.  What is happening when you're off, what is your mental state, what is the ball doing on the lane.  Basically, you're trying to identify all of the key similarities that are likely occurring when your game is off.

I think it's likely that you just need to re-learn what goes wrong, and what adjustments work and what don't with this new delivery you have.  See, you already knew this stuff with your old delivery and were able to make the correct adjustment to maintain your consistency.  I don't think the low games now are a fundamental problem with your game, but are just a matter of you needing to relearn what works and what doesn't when the "A" game goes south.

Stick with it.  You'll relearn and your consistency will come back.

Oh yeah, if all else fails, JTTFB!

I once was told it takes at least 1000 games to ingrain a different technique. That being the case I wonder if you have given it enough time.

I would argue that there is NO perfect technique identified in bowling. It seems that everyone has there own UNIQUE style. Sure there might be some fundamentals that make bowling consistanly easier but even these are not imployed by +80% of all bowlers top bowlers.

For my students and myself, if there is not some fairly immediate positive results then perhaps that specific skill is not for them and some other alternative would be easier or better.

I believe bowling is a skill that is developed from a natural point of view and not from a specific set skills that must be mastered. Why would you force a left hander to write with there right hand?

Sure there are benifits to a looser armswing but not at the point where it does not produce the desired results.

I agree with the statements made that you need confidence is your changes and skills. I agree that sometimes changes are hard to implement. But for me it seems that you have given alot of time to work.

Keep your chin up.  When making major changes you will typically go down before you go up.  About 12 years ago I was averaging in the low 190's and wasn't going to get better the way I was doing things.  I hooked up with the best coach in my town and worked for 3 years with him.  He completely took my physical game apart and built me back up from scratch.  I initially went down about 15 pins, but by the end of the first full season after lessons I was up to 209.  I increased my average every year after that until achieving a high of 235 two years ago.  Went down to 228 last year after knee surgery, but still hard to complain, and I don't expect to average in the 230's all the time.  Keep practicing and putting in the hard work and it will eventually pay off.

UPDATE

I went to practice last night.  I did the 45 minutes thing, which translated into 4 games.  The first game I wasn't doing anything other than getting a feel for the lanes and making sure my newly re-drilled gear fit alright.

Then games 2 3 and 4, I tried.  I focused on keeping my chin up (literally) during my approach, so I can be more balanced at the foul line.  First game, split for a 9 count total, then the next 8 in a row.  I was really happy with how balanced I was, and how I kept hitting the 10 board at at the arrows.  All my strikes and reactions except one looked identical, and that made me very happy.  The one I missed, I tugged inside 2 boards, but the THS kept it on target.  I felt loose, my body wasn't twisting or turning, and I was sticking my landing.  This game I bowled with my newly re-drilled RICO T-Road Pearl

Next game, I switched balls to something more skid-flippy, my Pyro.  I felt good throwing it, and got some pretty good reactions here.  I got a bit less consistent this game.  I found myself rushing my feet a bit compared to game 1, where everything was in sync.  I think I was focusing too much on my mechanics than actually doing them, if that makes sense.  The first half of the game I was all detail oriented, the second half I wasn't and it went better.  I could definitely feel that I was muscling the ball in the beginning.

Third game I switched balls again to my Neptune, re-drilled as well.  The ball feels like the pitch on the thumb is a bit off I felt like I was getting hung up in the ball too much.  But that's another chat for another time.  This game was by far my worst mechanically.  I wasn't sticking my landing, and b/c I was all hurky jerky (at least I think) my slide knee started to get a bit sore.  The first and second game when I had a nice deep knee bend, it didn't hurt at all.  I think I was twisting and turning too much, and trying to force my body to do something that didn't feel right.  I definitely felt like I was getting more tense through my motions.  I may have been bowling too quickly, but I'm not sure.  My form was very inconsistent, and it showed in my reaction.  Good balls I threw had the Neptune going further down lane before breaking.  When my form was all screwed up, the ball picked up REALLY early and just headed for the nose.  I wasn't bending my knee at the foul line, I wasn't keeping my head straight.  Basically the good things that helped me the first two games were gone, and I'm wondering if in league I'm just not paying attention to these things.  I worry so much about ball reaction that maybe I should worry about the operator.  

Sorry for the long post
Thanks though!
