I got a $45 voucher (in the UK; £30) and I spoke to a rep on the phone. He said do this, do that, yet about 2 months later and my spent is £10 for that period! I'm actually disillusioned because I'm not getting enough clicks!

My theory is that Bing is taking more and more clicks away, so I'll have to find another way of promoting my business/projects.

Simple fix: add more keywords. Raise your budget.

Another simple fix: Use Bing.

Is Bing worth using at all? I set up a campaign on Microsoft a few years ago before it was Bing, but never really got any clicks out of (a few clicks a month) using basically all the same key words and ads I was using on Adwords and getting thousands of clicks a day there.

Depends on your vertical. Bing has about 15% share of search and with Yahoo that percentage is around 30%. It's definitely worth exploring, but it is worth noting that keyword match types are implemented differently so you can't just copy/paste your campaigns over from Adwords like you used to.
