I agree with several points here, but it was mainly that Moffat was just not as good as Russell Davies, simply because Davies planned the key elements of his 4 seasons from the beginning. It was clear Moffat was doing this as early as his secind season when you step as realise that the logic behind the Silence had completely changed and didn't fit with the continuity. The same happened with the 2 Trenzalore epiosdes.
He did have some really good standalone episodes, Heaven Sent to me was amazing and The Day of the Doctor was no disappointment, but some moments were really overplayed and became cheesey - my picks here being Amy and Rory's death (probably going to feel some heat for that) and Clara whispering into the crack in the universe in the time of the doctor.

i wont deny that he did write some great episodes, but i think his best work is the episodes he wrote for the 9th and 10th doctor. he was great for solo episodes but his convoluted multi-episode arks that he attempted felt silly, like he just it up as it went along.

Forgot he also did episodes for David Tennant, reminded me that he wrote Blink which is one of my favourite episodes, so the Weeping Aangels are definitely one of his best contributions to the series. Agree with your comment about the story-arcs though.
