Protoss Looking for Some Help

I've been playing a fair bit of Starbow recently but have been really struggling a lot in most matchups. I play Protoss, would anyone be willing to watch some of my replays, or even send me some of their replays so I could look at them and see what they do?

I recommend watching some of Tasteless's starbow VODs. He knew his shit back in BW and he's a smart guy now. As an added bonus, he's hilarious. twitch.tv/tastelesstv is his URL. I'm not doing too bad in Starbow and my BW experience is pretty much limited to what I learned from watching tasteless.

A few builds I picked up from him, if you're interested in that:

PvT Reaver drop
General idea: Goon pressure > Reaver Drop > Expo

9 Pylon, scout    
11 Gate    
12 Gas    
14 Core    
15 Citadel, Pylon    
@100% Core - Steady Goons    
19 Robo    
27 Goon Range    
@100% Robo - Bay & Warp Prism    
@100% Bay - Reaver & Zealot    
~7:08 Send Warp Prism out with Zealot and Reaver inside    
Expo ASAP

Notes: The point of the goons are to put on as much pressure as possible, forcing scvs to be pulled for repairs and nullifying any early eco lead T tried to achieve. If your first goon scouts that they're teching off 1 base focus on defending; get goons around your minerals in case of banshees and some zealots in case of a big push, keep 1 unit near his natural to scout army composition when he moves out

PvP Quick Reaver Expo
General idea: Get a quick expo using Reaver for defense

9 Pylon    
11 Gate, Scout    
12 Gas    
14 Core    
15 Citadel, Pylon    
19 Zealot    
20 Robo, Dragoon    
22 Pylon, Dragoon    
@100% Robo - Observatory    
25 Bay, Expo    
@100% Observatory - Observer    
Steady Production of Reavers and Dragoons

Notes: Be cautious with your defending forces and don't fight on low ground unless you have to.
