Never done rest/pause, like you are describing. I like drop sets a lot. Not for every exercise, of course, but somewhere in every workout. You can also get a lot of work in quick by "running" the rack (multiple drops with no rest in between). And I like supersets (go directly from one exercise to another without rest).
All in all, I doubt that the program change will solve your decline in strength, though. Without rest, recovery and the right amount of nutrition, you're just beating yourself up.
