I've been told I have lots of speed & power, but while sparring I always seem to take a lot of hits. I try to practice angling and bouncing and moving around as much as possible, but I still get hit a lot. Please help!

I may be wrong, but it sounds like you are more of a defensive sparrer. If that's the case, you may need to work on counter kicking. Doing it faster, and then switching to offense as soon as your opponent starts to block or move.
If you are a newer student, it will take time to learn to read your opponents. Like TKDMASTER said, training, training,training. It takes time, but if you dedicate yourself, you'll be okay.
Best of luck.

Try these and good luck!
Hands up, chin down, hide your body to the side.
Throw combinations, then move.
Counter attack after you block.
Kick from far, punch from close.
Use both hands and both feet.
Use your lead side more than your rear side.
Keep changing your combinations.
Move in circles to the right and left.
Shuffle your feet -- don't cross them.
USE FRIENDLY CONTACT ONLY!
Stay on your toes.
Protect yourself at all times.

This might sound stupid but shadow box in front of your mirror & get one of those free standing punching bags at your local sports store so you have something to practice on outside of your doju.

try "rooting". the moment you touch the ground, you grow roots from the bottom of your feet and easily change direction with the rest of yr body... practice first. ( it is a sort of mindset)

Never stop throwing punches and kicks and dont throw too many roundhouse kicks, never leave yourself open, always stay on your toes.
