Is this the CRJ 700? What is your flap setting and approach speed? Normal glide slope is -3.0 degrees which is approximately -700 to -800 fps as a general rule of thumb. If you are slower than Vref speed which can be between 135-140 knts (The EFB will tell you your Vref speed at your current weight) with full flaps she is going to have a vertical speed lower than -700 to -800 and once you get -900 VS the warnings will begin. After you are properly trimmed and in landing configuration, adjustments to the throttle should be used to increase or decrease your vertical speed to maintain a descent rate of -700 to -800 not necessarily pitch.  

 

Remember there is no Auto Throttle for this aircraft so you have to fly her to the tarmac, even on APP mode you must maintain control of your throttles to control the descent rate otherwise the AP will try to use pitch to control the descent rate and things go south quickly as you bleed off speed.

The best thing would be to make a video of your APPR....
