I think you brought up some excellent components of fluency. You also made a very important statement: “In general, the development of the fluency skill implies the development of automatic and unconscious processing mechanisms. This means that the more the person is fluent, the less he/she has to pay attention to his/her speech. Fluency just happens, without the person being able to explain why and how.” Do you think it might be a good idea to make one of the components of fluency: Speaking without conscious awareness of how you are producing speech?
