I made it work, and we were never outside our SOP tolerances, and we landed in the TDZ, but it was one of those days where you just feel like you've forgotten how to fly. Oh well. Hopefully tomorrow will be better...
You need to check out the FAA video on how wingtip vortices work. Unless you had a tailwind, there's no need for you to ever fly an ILS "a dot high". Doing that only puts your vortices in the next guy's glide path.
