Have you checked out the "Flatpick Essentials" (Dan Miller) series from flatpick.com?

Flatpick Essentials does a lot with short runs and picking exercises. For me, it helped both my flatpicking and fingerstyle technique. I still go back to it when I want to brush up on technique - the book is paced well and the exercises short and sweet.

I am in somewhat of the same boat, however, I cannot claim for a minute that my playing is where I want it to be.

Best,

Rick
