cpu spy , battery stats and traffic monitor will all help see why the CPU is not sleeping, what is using CPU time and what apps are transmitting data.

Or the stock settings>about phone>battery usage. Which in any normal case will show the display lighting as the main source of battery usage then next in line etc etc

I found having the phone "push" email for my work Exchange account was the culprit. I setup "peak" and "off peak" retrieval, and therefore turned off the "push" retrieval. At peak times, I poll every hour (8-5 m-f), at off-peak hours, I poll every 4 hours. That was really my only change and now I can get through a work day without much trouble.
If you are not having your phone grab data all the time, then I am not sure what is draining your battery, but that is what was killing mine...

Turn off data packets (Apn) and poll.
