Attackers can often not check the corners, miss the fact your TH is an easy take, and move on or smash the rest of your base... you need your TH somewhere really obvious - towards the bottom right is best, in my experience, but not right in the corner. You want every raider to see your TH straight away, without looking around your base, to maximise the chances of a trophy hunter picking it off and moving on.
I had a farming base at TH7, and got to about 1800 trophies in search of DE. I changed to a trophy base at TH8, but not to gain trophies, as actually I pretty much get 1-2 starred every raid anyway (currently, around 2000 trophies). And I got by BK to level 9 without even really hunting DE, just by raiding at higher trophies where it just naturally flows in...
Lastly, I think 3 ligntning spells for DE is not just kinda lame (lighting peoples DE stores will, often, cause them to revenge you with a really big army), it's also inflexible. I'd pack 1 lightning, 1 heal, and 1 rage, for greater flexibility... If you find a really juicy DE store in a weak TH9 or TH10, you can often break in and get your goblins at it, so the heal or rage can help them live long enough to get not just hundreds, but thousands.
