Most battery related problems are a program that won't go idle. Or maintaining a 3G data connection with chat enabled, or wifi (not so bad) with chat.
Try this:
top -d 240
and leave it alone for at least 4 minutes.
Then look at the CPU % column and you can see what is using CPU time. Ideally everything should be 0%. Less than 1% might be ok.
or install one of the battery graph programs. I've used "BatteryGraph" to monitor what uses up the battery.

blackbird: sort of high traffic on wlan for idle.. And what's the cifs stuff, mounting smb shares?.. Is wifi powersaving on max? Skype, haze and the rest being as obnoxious as usual..
The i2c irq count looks very high, but all these figures might be a bit polluted since it kinda looks like your device wasn't idle the entire powertop sampling period
At least 49% of that 10m it was doing (C3) something and not sleeping (C4). WLAN activity is shown on the other lines, but I am no expert interpreting powertop output.

Mine currently is 1.9% user, 0.8% sys 0.0% nice, 96.2% idle.
But I more mean to look at the part below so you can see what is using your CPU cycles:
for me its:
skyhost at 1.4% CPU,
telepathy-spirit 0.2% CPU
These are part of the instant message protocols I have.
I Mainly suggest top so it's easy to identify the culprit programs and doesn't involve installing things. But powertop does let you see the power states which is nice.

I saw Powertop in graphics interface in one of the post ...but im not getting that ..how do i get that ???
3g starts to win once you're doing something that takes more than 5-10 seconds of continuous transfer at max 3g speed to complete. Lots of websites are so slow to respond that they load about as fast on 2g and 3g, in which case 2g would use less power to do it.
Downloading podcasts with gpodder is a case where 3g clearly uses less power than 2g.
