How does share difficulty influence my earnings?
Short answer: it doesn't.
Long answer: a higher/lower share difficulty does not mean you will be earning more/less, because your expected earnings are independent of the share difficulty: they only depend on your hash rate and on the network difficulty. A higher share difficulty can only increase the variance, but not in a significant way.
Thats why I lost 27% of my WU... I call that significant!
because an hour is enough time to tell statistical significance?
I track my WU, normally it's between 1950 and 2250, with the 1024 blocks I'm getting between 1100 and 1600 so yeah it shows.
A lot of the problems started when that other profit pool started to use middlecoin around new year.

Sounds like you got shit on, should probably go to another pool. My WU is fine at this difficulty
I just got alot of "2003 Can't connect to Mysql" errors on cgminer, it seems that the useast server was giving the issues.
Switched to the normal server and I only got that message once... (till now) hashrate is also around the
2.1K 25% less like the useast server.
