Looks to me like it's a simple mater of a small gear improvement which you are working on and learning the affliction play style.

Idk if it is feasible at your current shadow damage but that sounds like it is improving soon. So I will walk you through how I affliction grind. Siphon Life>Curse of Agony>Curr then dot the next mob. I do this till I have about 3-5 mobs on me. Then IHoT and drain life on the last mob I dot'd up. Never let your imp sit at full mana. If the imp is full and your not dark pact. Never let yourself sit at full life. If you have 100% life and not 100% mana, Life Tap.

The only time I struggle with mana is grind for mana motes in wizard's row due to the mobs draining mana and even then I do alright.

One suggestion is find an affliction lock that knows how to grind well and see if you can group with them for a grind to watch the play style at work.
