Nothing wrong with Reason. Have you read this?

Subtractor is a perfectly good 'analogue' synth for your bass, and with samplers & ReDrum for percussion you're ready to go.

Couldn't listen to your clip because it's expired, but I'm gonna say just practice, read, learn, experiment, share and repeat that process again and again

Even though I'm just getting started with the whole dubstep thing, I've been producing my own tracks (in other genres) for many years now.
What I did at first was try to reproduce, from scratch, some of my favorite tracks. For instance, I would listen to a tune I was really into, and try to break it down in my head. For example, I would first listen to the high hat line, then try to reproduce that. Then I would listen to the rest of the beat, and separate that out one hit at a time. Then move to the bass line and try to reproduce the sound. And so on and so forth. This really helped me learn my gear (There weren't really softsynths at that time, it was all hardware). But it taught me a lot about sequencing and sound design.
Once I felt comfortable with the gear and the sequencer, I started making my OWN tunes. It helped a lot.
