Try an army incorporating giants and go for storages rather than just collectors and you should end up with plenty of DE. You don't even need to be incredibly high in trophies. Gold leagues work fine. Farming around 1500 trophies you can find enough DE, but also gold and elixir easily.
The army I am using now:
16 giant, 32 gobs 8 wbs rest archers.
You can play with the makeup, switch out some archers for barbs. It all gets the job done.
Also, I will switch to Barcher or BAM during those magical times during the day when it becomes easy to find collector raids.
Edit!!
I looked at your base, Ishmail. For goodness sake, get your trophies up, man no wonder! You will never see DE under 1000. Also if you ever see a base with DE an army of all archers is never going to survive to the center of the base to get to it. Use a different army comp, never ever use an all archer army again and get your trophies to 1400-1600. That is my prescription. Also, max those DE drills. First thing at TH8 I dropped down my DE drill and got it to level 3.
