Anytime I've had trouble with a kick not cutting through the mix it's generally because of the kick sound. Things that affect the kick sound are mainly the heads, drum tuning, performance, room and mic.
Kicks need more upper mids and air in the sound then you would normally think. Sometimes cutting the lows somewhere around 60-100hz can help the mids cut through. Heavy limiting can also help. I also like to mix in the snare rattle with the kick. It can help give the top end of the hits some definition and cut. If you are gating the snare you might be missing out on that.
