What kind of shutter speeds were you using? Shooting in manual or shutter-speed priority or something different?
Mainly 1/1250 and f4, continuous focusing, CH, zone (small) and various custom settings. I've been trying on and off for months!
Make sure face detect is off - I've found that slows it down, resulting in back focus. Larger focus box can be faster (as long as it's not too big for the subject). AF-C focuses at the aperture selected, so in dim light a wider aperture will focus faster - possible this is a factor. Busy backgrounds with lots of contrast can trip up the focus system too. I shoot action with the 16F2.8, 23F2 and 35F2.
