I like どんなとき as a quick n' dirty reference, but I have to admit that when I'm totally lost, I go to 日本語文型辞典 for help. Also, くらべてわかる日本語表現文型辞典 is pretty useful, too.
I already bought どんなとき as a ebook. I like that so I can cut and paste into a spreadsheet. For purpose of nuances between similar forms, which of the other books would you recommend? Also do any of them have the description in English? I'm at the point that I don't usually use translations but for things like nuances which are tricky, it can help. It seems like you like 日本語文型辞典.
Edit: there seems to be a just published English edition of the above mentioned dictionary. If you think it will help with the problems I am having, I'll buy it.
Could you post a link to where the english edition is available to purchase?
If I want english explanations of grammar I usually use this site http://www.imabi.net

Awesome! Thanks! Seem's great but I'll be resisting buying it as I have too many grammar books
As for whether it will help with your problems, there is the Japanese version available with a quick google search. Then you can decide if the English Version would help you. I would buy the English version not the japanese version if it is useful for you.
Also check out the くらべてわかる book and workbooks. The beginner/intermediate workbook is also available with a quick google search. But I would buy main book/dictionary and the intermediate/advanced ones (or all three) as they are useful for your problem
