Interesting thread!
Im haunted by the same problem of Robstar, i think that having the ideia and to chase it is the fun part, and making the structure and arrangement is the boring part, i aways end up with another cool ideia in the middle of the process and abandon it to start that ideia.
Guess i (and Robstar too, lol) must try to focus more on the initial goal, hehe 
About the tune kicking in, i had this same problem too, what u should do for now is forget this.
Make songs that already starts energetic like many out there, and keep on praticing it until u think u can do good.
Its more a matter of personal creativity and u can raise yours (worked for me) by listening to many songs to see how they do it, and writing down everithing. Then try to copy these ideias to exercise, and when u hav done that enough, new original ideias should just pop in your head automaticaly cuz u will hav aquired the right feel for what u could expect to hear when each of your track kicks in, depending on its feel.
The same exercise can be done to boost your melody composing skill.
Melody, arrangement, rhythm and structure are the worst parts of producing, for sure, cuz it dont matter how much technical knowledge u hav and the quality of your souds, these need creativity and feeling, and u can only aquire that by listening much music, with time and praticing, but not reading a super tutorial and messing with knobs...

What part of Trance production kills you?
But, generally arrangement causes me problems too - getting the right flow to the track is something I can't do easily...
