I'm no chess teacher, but I can tell you what any teacher would.  Play less blitz; all you're doing is perfecting your mistakes.  Good players love playing blitz and bullet because they have already internalized thousands of patterns that they can recognize and react to immediately.  You're not there yet so play more long time controls until you are.

And take advantage of your diamond membership.  ChessMentor has all kinds of ways to improve but the most bang for the buck would probably be to hit the tactics courses hard. Keep reviewing until the patterns of typical tactical motifs become internalized.  GM Patrick Wolff has at least a dozen courses and there are others.  Good luck!

Prefer video to ChessMentor?  IM Danny Rensch has a video series that covers the same material starting with:

I endorse baddogno's advice.

I am available for coaching (see my profile), but you will probably gain as much by reducing your blitz and increasing your time with Tactics Trainer, Chess Mentor, and the instructive videos available to diamond members.
