basically sounds like alot of things changed and there are too many factors to say what happened other than if you make more per unique with another sponsor, re-allocate the traffic to them and email your current guys and ask whats up.

it is possible your traffic just got stale on em, it happens. Are they screwing you? I don't think so, they make more keeping your ratios good and keeping you as an affiliate than shaving sales.
I don't think my traffic went from 1:700 to 1:3,000 on July first because my traffic happened to get stale on that day. The sites hold the same serps, and inbound links haven't changed.

I only had to change one lines in three different .htaccess files to redirect all my traffic (such as it is), but I figure if it wasn't broke, why fix it?

I mean, they still have to pay the same fees whether I send through MPA3 (nothing against MPA3!) or straight to the third party processor.

I've already wasted too much time and thought. I'm just going to switch out the links.
