Step Up from NL10 to NL25 - Rush > Standard?

At first I started out playing on Stars where I moved up from NL2-5-10-25 within a month. I was playing NL10 deepstack with ante tables, and managed to win at 20bb/100 before moving up to NL25. At these stakes, I was winning at around 8bb/100 over a moderate sample. I withdrew my roll and started again, this time on Full Tilt.
I started playing rush poker, mainly because i could put in huge hand volume, and the site doesnt have any fast table like Stars. I am crushing NL10 rush for well in excess of 10bb/100 (just finished a 1200 hand session for +6 buyins lol). However, when I move up to NL25 i am getting raped. My first session was -10 buyins, although I have never run as bad as a did that day. However, I played again, and I believe I was running quite well, as twice I flopped two pair with suited connectors in a three bet pot and stacked pockets, and i got AA>KK, AA>QQ etc.... though I only broke even for the session.
I really feel that I am hugely negatively EV at NL25 rush poker, yet positively EV at standard games? I havent really made any major adjustments between my standard poker game and my rush game? Should I?
Has anyone else experienced this?
