When I did AN&DP (also with Mark) I had problems with the shutdowns on my first dive - I'd practiced doing them many, many times and knew it shouldn't be a problem, but I was sitting there struggling just the way you described, cold and tense with shoulders hurting, and really really angry. I think lots of us have had the same experiences.
After the dive I realised that my thermals were restricting my movement, so I cut the sleeves off and next day everything was fine
Not that that anecdote really helps you much, but basically keep at it and you'll get there.
