Your sample is too small to tell your habits for sure, but it looks like "yes" you do bluff too much or call down too light or both. The winning-est strategy at micros (especially Bovada) is too play tight preflop, value bet aggressively, and fold frequently when met with aggression. It's boring but it works. And obviously you can adjust based on your reads, but these general rules work.
Pretty graph, I feel like I time my bluffs decently and the regs at 5NL on bovada are pretty weak tight and love to give up pots, especially to scare cards. The beginning of the month was rough though, majority of my sets were losing and I just have a hard time folding them
Here is my graph for flopped sets in May, after looking at it maybe I am playing them a little to aggressively since I am winning without showdown with them often?
May was just a strange month in poker and the first 2 weeks were brutal with the beats, which may have lead to a tiny bit of tilt
I'm not sure you need to bluff too much in order to win at a high clip on there. I just play enough hands and value bet aggressively, mix in some well timed bluffs when I have reads.

Also, if you don't know how to make a well timed bluff (which most players don't without a lot of experience and reads) just don't.
While you may not have the same results as John, you will STILL be winning against these players who don't fold. Maybe not 14bb/100, but 6-7bb/100 is pretty good.
I think getting out of mentality at these kinds of stakes that you need to outplay everyone, and just play solid, learn BET SIZING and how to manipulate opponents to do what you want to do, and value bet well. If you do those things well, and have a good pre-flop strategy, you'll win at a high clip.

I see people at the smaller stakes constantly wanting to outplay people. Trying to churn out some postflop edge that you don't need (and really may not have).
When value betting is so strong, you don't really need to outplay people. They outplay themselves for you.
You just don't need to trick people who adamantly refuse to be tricked, and therefore call too much.
