You were shooting in tough conditions.
Spot metering would have been OK.
You can use any meting mode - as long as you use expose for the conditions correctly for the mode you are using > It shouldn't matter what metering mode you use. It looks like you should have used exposure compensation and been at a PLUS value to compensate for the conditions.
Your exif data is not intact so I can't see your shutter speed. if your shutter was to slow that would be the cause of the slightly OOF look of the eyes. In this case it would
have been more important to increase ISO / Aperture at it's lowest value for the lens and Increased SS to a value equal to your overall Lens length or double if Hand Holding > Especially if your not very stead. so if you were at 400mm your ss should be 400 - 800.
Second - FILL FLASH would have been a huge bonus in this situation. But it probably would have given you the "FLASH EYE" look. If the head is turned in the right direction you may have came out with a few photos without the EYE Flash look. And an off camera flash bracket would have helped some too
So there's a lot to your question
again to me >> Metering isn't the issue >> It's proper compensation of the metering mode you used that's important.

Yeah the OOF eyes are because the mirror slap was not working correctly. Read my first comment it explains everything. I was not hand holding so I purposely used low iso to reduce noise, and thought since I had a tripod that this would work, but unfortunately that did not work the way I intended. Familiar with the hand hold technique your talking about, but just didnt want the noise. I prefer low noise. You don't things are kinda flat exposure wise? Maybe its my monitor (apple cinema). Thanks for the advice, really appreciate it!
