I have finished ngondro accumulation but i keep doing the daily 21 recitations. I was wondering, what do you usually visualize in this short period of time, whats the emphasis on?

Well if you have a visualization for purifying all three gates at the same time, you can do that. Or 5 beads for each and an extra one. I think the whats and the hows vary by sadhana and the teacher's instruction. Unless you have explicit instructions to recite it fast, i think you can experiment with the tempo.
The best advice i got regarding any Yidam work is not to get too sidetracked with adding an additional layer of 'mental-gymnastics' trying to keep all of the elements in place. Some recitations will naturally accompany a clearer visualization, non-distracted state of mind and some degree of clarity and some will be dull or distracted. As far as i was taught, the goal should never be to add another layer of conceptual fabrication on top of what's already being done with the visualization and mantra.
