you use 74% of battery for display but for how long? 30minutes, 10 hours?
turn your brightness down as low as you can.
About nitrous or classic, I cannot say but roms only have little effect on battery life imo.
Kernels, usage, display, signal, updates, syncing, to name a few have effects on batt. life.

Edit: for example: Since uplugged 11hrs, 26 min. so far and of that time, 12% was used by the display.....

I dont know, I'll check but what is your battery down to after 2-1/2 hrs.?

 

[G2435]

74 percent still

 

[Mikestony]

74 percent still

Your battery is at 74% or your screen usage is 74%
or both.
I would say, if both at 74%, then after 2-1/2 hours, at 3/4 of that screen usage, and at 74% battery, its fine.

Honestly, just ignore how the battery stats are reported in terms of what is using how much %. Sense roms always have display super high. AOSP always has it low. Sense is probably more accurate IMHO. But as long as you don't have wakelocks, then that's what's important. Use Battery Monitor Widget by 3c to track your battery stats. If your phone is sleep in the -20 to -26 ma range, then you're in good shape. If you're lucky, you can get down into the teens. It's a great app, definitely check it out if you're not using it already.

Yeah I have it already installed and how would I know if my phone sleep is in them ranges

Click on the widget and then "history"...on mine, it's the column to the right of the time listed....like mine was sleeping just now at -26, which is good considering it had only been sitting there for like 10 minutes. Last night overnight I was between -21 and -29 all night. Usually closer to 21 than 29.
