   you could use thin set mortar that is used for tile setting and then build a form set at a specific height (the high point of the area you are working in) and then level out from there.  Hard to explain without using my hands and drawing on napkins..

   The mixes made for leveling are going to cure harder and will level out easier and finish to a feather edge if need be. Thinset is not as hard and is too gritty for fine thin work

   Did the plumber do the concrete work?  That could be part of the issue...

   How much of a variance in elevation is there?  If there are just a few "rough" spots, you may be able to beat or grind them down to accept your thinset.  If things are out of level, do what Piffin said.

   The leveling stuff is good. Top&bond is for that too, feathers out well. If you work fast, you can mix up several little batches of hydraulic cement to a liquid consistancy and that feathers beautifully. I just did it to a basement today in fact. The levelfloor stuff is probably your best bet.
