I am mining SRC (quarkcoin) on CoinMine Pool with HD 7970s and R-280xs and I am getting more than a fair number of:
"Waiting for work to be available from pools."
Any idea what might be causing this, or what typically causes this?

I guess that you use the russian miner. Remove all settings except:
  "xintensity": "2048",
  "gpu-engine": "1100",
  "gpu-fan": "50-85",
  "gpu-memclock": "150",
  "worksize": "64",

  "temp-overheat": "82",

You should have better result.

Try this pre-compiled Windows version:

However, I should warn you. I've ran the various versions of modded sgminer through MiningRig monitoring system at various settings.

Despite the sgminer saying 16mhs, in reality my effective rate at Nicehash was 14.50mhs.

Also, Xintensity of 1024 produced a lower hashrate at Nicehash than Xintensity of 512 at Nicehash.
