How can I improve my experience gain hunting Draken Walls?

Question

I started to hunting Draken Walls yesterday, but I notice my experience isn't like shown in some videos, so I guess I'm doing something wrong while hunting there, also I know that I don't have experience hunting there, so I'm learning each time I go there.
My loot is getting better as I'm getting familiar to the hunt, but my experience is instable around 1,7~1,8kk. So I'm searching for some tips to improve my experience in my future hunts, like what is the best rotation in the cave during my hunt. (I tried to hunt in north and south as well, and notice that getting 3-4 towers near to each other is better to my hunt)

My set: Terra Helmet, Ornate Chestplate, Draken Boots, Gnome Shield, Mace of Destruction, Sun Catcher (arrow slo), Werewolf Amulet,, Club Ring, Draken Boots (I'm willing to buy Depth Calcei and Rainbow Necklace soon)

My imbuements: 2 powerful mana leech, 1 powerful life leech, 2 powerful fire protection, 1 intricate strike

Level: 360. Skills: 120 (with ring)/ 111

First of all, it's important to know what you are comparing to. It's possible the knights you saw had a higher level, higher skills, were using offensive charms, and possibly even Experience Preys and Boosts that some times are hidden from videos to make them look more appealing. That being said:

• Are you hunting always on Blood Rage? I would assume not since you're using 2 defensive imbuements so I'm guessing you still believe the respawn is dangerous. Of course you shouldn't switch to full "offensive mode" if you're not comfortable with it and may die in the process. If you're not using Utito Tempo, you can use Berserk Potions for a smaller but constant skill buff. 
• You should definitely look at using a Resizer. Even if you lose one imbuing slot, it has a much higher base atk (57 vs 50), and the fact that it's mostly Ice damage gives you two advantages. The first one is increased damage on Draken Warmasters, which are weak to Ice but neutral to Physical. The second is that Magical damage will always be preferred over physical if the resistances/atk values are similar. Physical damage will be reduced by the creatures' armor, whereas elemental damage will not. When in doubt, go elemental. 

Finally: don't get too worried about this. Guide videos are usually made by experienced players on respawns they have hunted a lot, which means they are way above the minimum level recommended for the place, have full charms and have optimized the place to its maximum potential. Furthermore, reported exp/h values are usually "peak" and not the real average exp/h you would get, besides the possible bonuses I mentioned earlier.

Thank you for your answer!!! I'm still learning how to hunt there, so I know I won't be getting the best experience possible. I talked to one friend about it, he said that I can be "losing" some exp by the time I'm running from one tower to another. Soon I'll buy Resizer and try it there, once I don't usually hunt with 2 handed weapon. I'm still trying some rotations to know how can I make a better exp, since my loot is already good there. Soon I unlock one more rune, so it can be better. Again, Thanks for your answer.

Your friend is absolutely right. Not everyone realizes it, but the design of the spawn and your route in it are as important as the creatures you're killing. Optimizing the best route to spend less time walking is key, as it is deciding what pulls are and aren't worth it. For example, if there's a room with only 4 or 5 creatures you may want to ignore it or lure them to the next room so you don't spend too much time on a small amount of creatures.
