when i felt like i wasn't working my back well, i started using straps so i didn't have to grip the bars as tight (not on pullups though). I found that the less i had to grip, the less I felt the need to use my biceps to pull the weight.
eventually i learned how to pull with the back without the need for straps. basically i lacked the mind/muscle connection and wasn't focusing on using hte lats for a lot of movements.
this may or may not be your problem, but its worth trying. drop your poundage used, and try to focus on holding the bar, and pulling your elbows down, rather than pulling your hands down.
also make sure you extend the arms up enough to full stretch the lat back out.
for pull ups, you use everything you got
