Q: MBP'15 slow; shutdown issues; Need a Pro

Hey, I'm running El Capitan, 2015 retina Macbook pro MacbookPro11,4 -- wake up one morning to find everything laggy, every action happens abnormally slow. I've reset some simple things (SMC, RAM), cleaned up my hard drive, run utilities, etc.

The computer also shuts down when i close the lid instead of sleeping, and has shut off randomly a few times.

Doesn't look like RAM is being hogged, but after a bad shutdown the kernel_task hogs ~500 CPU for 15-30mins.  It doesn't ever seem to shutdown properly.

I tried following http://www.rdoxenham.com/?p=259 to supposedly move my macbookpro11_4.plist file, but the file is not listed in the specified DIR (among the other 50 listings). Not sure why.

Thoughts?

Here's an etreCheck report from just now:
