Sorry to hear about your difficulties. I personally love BFD. It's feature rich and no more complicated that any other worthwhile drum suite.

The midi grooves should be drag-n-drop. You just have to hold down the ctrl key down then click and drag a groove onto your instrument track. Be sure you have ProTools set to grid mode for easier placement.

As for connecting midi devices, my BFD has always defaulted properly - whether with keyboards or with electronic drums. If you do need to tinker with settings, you can easily make BFD 'learn' your midi settings with the 'Learn' function in dialog box that opens with the little piano keyboard symbol. Click 'learn' for each sound in BFD and hit your electronic drum.
