Don't rule out that aside from attachment issues he may also have a mood disorder or something else contributing to it. Not saying that he does, but we recently discovered that our son does have a mood disorder, and I wonder how much of his difficulty in the beginning may have stemmed from it - no parenting or attachment technique would have taken away rages that were chemical, it just never occurred to me then.
It's very emotional when they aren't bonding as quickly as you'd like, so many many hugs to you. If I could go back and change one thing it would be to lower my expectations of him, and just try to enjoy the progress he made as he did. I didn't think so at the time, but in hindsight, I think I expected too much of him. I think you are doing the right thing getting help early on. Try to stay positive, it will get better.
