This is my second shot at dubstep and I'm working on improving my sounds and how to make it more interesting.

Keep practising man. Off the bat, just looking at the waveform I would suggest working on your dynamics, ie the difference in volume/frequency coverage between the intro and post-drop sections.
The thing with dubstep is that the drop is litterally supposed to be a drop, that's when your sub kicks in and your speakers start to rumble, get that down and you've pretty much mastered the genre imo.

Structurally, you don't need the piano the whole way through imo

Also on the transitions, you could have things to make things more interesting, like some crashes or reversed effects on 8/16/32 bar slots just to keep listeners interested.

What DAW are you using btw?

The piano is a nice touch, and very well down with reversing on it. The kick/snare are both very weak though, and the beat itself comes across as flat, static and very repetitive.

The bassline gets boring before the first switch imo. I think you should have an actual melodic progression to it, rather than some wobbles
