A couple of suggestions for you:

1) Because quant comes before verbal on test day, and because you know you need to do at least some DS work, I'd suggest taking 30-45 minutes at the beginning of each study session to do some DS problems. That way you don't neglect it, and you're also going to get yourself warmed up but also a little worn down before you start Verbal...just like you'll do it on test day. You'll get in the habit of transitioning your mind from math to verbal, and that can be a really helpful transition.

2) It sounds like you're doing pretty well on math overall - with DS, because the format is such a tricky thing, I suggest taking each DS question and then once you're done asking yourself "how can I make one small change to change the answer?". Often by flipping an inequality from > to <, or adding the word "integer" before a variable, or changing the word "positive" to "nonnegative", you can change the correct answer entirely.

By doing this, you learn to think more like the testmaker. Often those who are really good and really fast at Problem Solving problems find themselves vulnerable to the assumptions and quick associations they make when doing math quickly on Data Sufficiency problems. If you train yourself to think of the many ways that a statement can be phrased, you'll learn to look more for exactly how the question you're facing is phrased, and that can be particularly helpful in slowing yourself down and avoiding silly mistakes.

I hope that helps...
