Got a camera in Guam last week to record some fish and stuff. Now that I'm back home I can put it to better use and try to improve my style. Here are several clips, two from yesterday and one from today.
My left hand crosses into my right side and my right hand goes way outside at mid-stroke. Not sure if this is a balance compensation but I havent been able to correct it yet

I tend to agree with Mike here.
Based on your expectations over this set of 100 on 2min, I'd expect your stroke count to be 18-19 possible 20 strokes. Let us wait for your confirmation on that.
We'll tailor a viable approach to get you to swim faster.
Now, in the mean time though, it is extremely important that you continue working on unloading this darn catch though. Otherwise, as soon as you'll start improving fitness, this recurring shoulder injury will come back.
Form isn't bad, but in your case this little detail about flexing the wrist earlier is extremely important.
Given your fragility (shoulders), you're going to need to learn to rely on the second half of your pulling effort to generate most of the power.
Oh one more thing. It seems that 0-arm and 1-arm drills have paid. Your kick timing relative to the full stroke is superb. That is a nice and steady 6-beat kick right there.
