The soul trap spell costs way too much magicka to be used on a room of 3-4-5 draugr (or something else) this is an explicit reason to enchant a weapon or I must find out how to make it cost like 20-35 magicka. Any suggestions?

If you give your armor enough magic cost reduction enchantments, the cost of spells will literally be zero.

Increasing your Conjuration level will decrease the base magicka cost of Soul Trap and every other Conjuration spell. You can also enchant apparel, as Squishy said, to lower it even further. 

 

You probably already know this, but you can only trap 1 soul per soul gem. So unless you have multiple soul gems to fill (and want to do so on the same pack of enemies), you won't need to use it multiple times on one group.
