(Bass)
In some parts of the song it is definitely much more prominent than in others. This is probably an EQ thing that you don't notice because of speaker/room influence.

Do you have any reason to cut it, or are you just doing it because you read about de-essing in a book or on a forum? Unless you know that there is for sure something to fix, don't mess with it.

This is probably just the comb filtering causing constructive interference at a particular frequency that enhances 'clarity'. If you didn't delay the doubled tracks at all, they are just making it louder.
Not really sure what you mean by 'clarity'. Without hearing the raw tracks I can't really say what you should do. Mixing is an ad hoc process and there are no formulae for success.

Well, compare it to excellently recorded music within whatever genre. I was using the term 'hard rock' as a generic term for anything loud.
