nice, clear percussions, you seems to be very good at percussions, i like it, this sounds definitely better now, nice deep choir, maybe you can try add a bit more deepness to the bassline (although it can be a really bad idea), i like the drive, good melodies, very nice gated synth, the clap should be a bit better eqed in the main part in my opinion, i miss revcrash from a few places (but its only personal prefence),
now its definitely sounding better, mate!
really nice work mate, cool unique track,
good luck with it
keep it up!

I'd say the choir is actually a bit too deep now. Reverb is definitely better, but because the pad is a bit on the loud side, it also tends to wash the rest of the track in reverb too (especially in the first part).
Kick sounds a little thin and lost, but it actually sounds OK due to the bass mostly driving the track along.
You definitely have more punch in the bottom-end now, but the top-end is really missing sparkle. Try increasing the hihats just a little, and see if you can boost ~5 kHz on some kind of lead synth. The gated synth perhaps? It's just that overall the spectrum is lacking a fair bit of 5 kHz, which equates to presence, and which explains why the sound of your track just doesn't really 'bite'.
Maybe try giving the percussions some more 'space' too, seeing as though they're such a key element in the track? They're kind of lost behind the wash of synths at the front of the mix now, whereas first they were so nicely situated off the left. I suppose maybe this was an attempt to position more sound in the right channel? On second thought, maybe shift the percussions off to the side again, and maybe shift a synth a little to the right perhaps? Or why not pan the separate drums throughout the x-axis (panning), provided it's not a loop, of course. Though keep them close enough so as to keep the rhythm sounding as one.
Just some ideas, but the sound is definitely improving. 
Are you using high pass filters on all instruments but the kick and bass, by the way?

Original ideas but really not my thing! The track doesn't seem to head anywhere! Lacking in variation for me, not kinda gripping my attention!
I have heard better from you Karim!

No, I didn't mean to use filters on the kick and bass, but on everything but the kick and bass. If you place these high pass filters on padding, leads and hihats etc., then you'll end up making room for the kick and bass (so they'll become more powerful and distinct), as well as cleaning the sound up from muddiness. It opens the mix up, while also removing any DC offset effects that software synths create so often.
The key is to roll off just enough so as to remove any rumble, but not to degrade any of the musical content. You may find that temporarily switching the filter to low pass while adjusting the cut off frequency helps to pick the right frequency, all before switching the filter to high pass again.
Also, I'm not exactly sure what dj jasonF is talking about, but there aren't really any major EQ clashes. You might however want to try cutting a few dBs at 55 Hz with a Q of 3.45 on the bass, just to carve out some room for the kick to sit in. A lot of EQs tend to work differently with Q values than they technically should though, so try to set a Q value so that the frequencies between 41 Hz and 73 Hz are effected, with 55 Hz as the centre frequency.

Nice sounds, nice ideas but the track lacked any kind of depth to me, it all sounds a bit samey from the sample. Theres no real change in sound at all. The kick in my opinion should have more impact to it to push the track along and add further depth to the sounds. It is a bit muddy, everything seamed to be tied together volume-wise.
Just a variation of sounds really is needed because to be honest it sort of lost my interest a bit. Its a cool track but after about a minute of it, it does get rather tiresome.
Keep working at it though and I'm sure you could make a good job of it, it does have potential.
