Is there any reliable way to make iMessage actually send from my phone number instead of my email? Apple has failed so hard in this regard.

Are you saying that the following isn't working?
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive> Start new conversations from > [select your number]
don't blame Apple buddy check your settings...my iMessgae comes from email and /or phone number
Nope doesn't work on my iPhone or my iPad.
New convos always start from my apple ID.
This may seem like I'm "passing the buck" but I suggest reading through this Apple support article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3529
There's a bunch of info that might be helpful.
Otherwise, if I was having this problem, I'd start by confirming the phone number associated with my Apple ID at appleid.apple.com. Then I'd probably turn iMessage off and back on. Then go from there.
