we need some big mining farms to jump on board. or a crap ton of people in the 50 to 200 TH/s range would be nice as well.

Well, 100 more 100TH miners would only be 10PH... I don't even know if I'd consider that a 'whale' in today's hashpower race.

i would not consider it a whale either but I also do not consider 100 people to be a crap ton, I was thinking like 1000 people lol so we could get over 100 PH at least lol

Regardless, what I've noticed is that it seems easier to get one or two lucky blocks with a small-medium sized pool to make it a really profitable month rather than a bunch of lucky blocks with a semi-large pool.

That's called variance

That's why we have high luck months and low luck months - the total expected blocks for the month ends up being small - so over that small 'sample' it can vary a lot more than a large sample (i.e. a pool that expects more blocks per month).

Long term we are ahead of every other pool (e.g. Mar-Feb then Mar also) but short term it varies a lot as can be seen on the monthly block table.
Alas, we do need to get larger to avoid the very low luck months (but will thus also avoid the very high luck months also)
