---- WP blog traffic plummeting. Bad robots.txt?

Thanks for any help on this one.

My hobby blog gets about 1k visitors a day and on April 18th it started plummeting down to 300 a day. I have recently implemented this robots.txt file for controlling duplicate content on this wordpress blog. Am I somehow blocking other sites abilities to grab my feeds? Thanks

Actual file:

User-agent: *
Disallow:

Disallow: /wp-
Disallow: /search
Disallow: /feed
Disallow: /comments/feed
Disallow: /feed/$
Disallow: /*/feed/$
Disallow: /*/feed/rss/$
Disallow: /*/trackback/$
Disallow: /*/*/feed/$
Disallow: /*/*/feed/rss/$
Disallow: /*/*/trackback/$
Disallow: /*/*/*/feed/$
Disallow: /*/*/*/feed/rss/$
Disallow: /*/*/*/trackback/$
