My dryfire drills are very rudimentary; Simply rehearsing the shot cycle on a blank target (to train the eye to focus on sight, and not relation of sight to target. I try to do a very quick pre-visualization, just before I start the raise. What I have found that works for me is treat every dry fire as a live shot, and every live shot as a dry fire. I am really striving for the feel of a good shot, and not the look of a good shot. As for live training, I rarely score targets, but rather strive to shoot very small groups with as few deviations from my area of hold that I can. I try to take the emphasis off of the result and place it on the process (the before, during, and after shot elements.)
As for getting used to good shooting (a very subjective measure), that is something you will have to come to know. It's like asking "how do you get used to walking good?" You simply do it correctly so often, that you forget that it is a very complex mechanical process that requires a lot of balance and muscle coordination, controlled by sensory input and nervous system output (sound familiar?)
As others have stated, try to find someone that you can work with that will prevent you from getting too comfortable and routine regarding your training regimen. Without a doubt, you will have to change the process to change the result.
