Not enough units? Expand like rabbits
Still not enough units? You dont have enough minerals
Shitloads of minerals but not enough units? You never use your queen dont you
Larva cant keep up? Another Hatchery is needed
Rule of thumb which works well for me
Enemy has 1 base = You must have 2-3 base
aiyah those things you stated are obvious, no?

I usually defend with lings and spine crawlers until my mutas are done - even on Xelnaga Caverns, although is has a fairly open expansion, a few spines and tons of lings can def any gate push until flying T-Rex spawns =)
Most of the time I can gain map control and tech up to ultralisk before Protoss decided to push with their 2 base large ball. Ultra counters everything Protoss built to counter muta/ling, but needs at least 3 bases to pump a reasonable amount of ultras.
in my case my rush failed to crush the opponent but crippled him quite badly. after that he blockaded and came to me before i got my muta.
fortunately i have some queens and had spammed quite some speedlings. wiped out the MM advancement.
after that it's muta + s-ling combo to tear through the barricade and whack everything.
