Thanks for explaining that for me. I think I have it.

So if the luck is down such as now is it worth moving to another pool or ...?

PPLNS
I just havent seen luck mentioned anywhere else as such, although I realise its all down to luck I guess.

No not all pools use the PPLNS payout method.  Here is a list that shows what pools use what payout method.

Luck has nothing to do with the payout method.  Luck, or Random Chance, is the nature of Bitcoin.  It is a measure of how many blocks are actually found per a given amount of hash rate.  Good luck means more block are found and bad luck means fewer blocks are found per a given hash rate.

Are all pools using this method now?

What "method" would that be?

I switched back to BTCGuild to give it a try and I have to say that the payouts dont seem too good right now. The pool seems to be having a spell of bad luck which makes me ask the question with he pool luck down to 92% how does that affect me? Do I only earn 92% of what I would earn normally it the luck was at 100%?

Are all pools using this method now?
