I actually don't think you have a problem, you were 4th on overall damage and the lock in front of you has some amazing gear, plus I noticed he was using CoD/Curse of Agony which pads the meters a bit more for him.

If DPS is really your concern then the simplest way to push it up (but it could lower your overall damage) is to stop casting Immolate. My guess is you aren't shadowbolting while in the water so Immolate is ticking which pushes up your DPS time but because it ticks for very little it reduces your overall DPS. Just look at Heartsalive, his DPS time is 65% comapred to your 85% probably because he's largely just shadowbolting and not DoTting.

The gear you have is good. If you want to improve it a bit you could put the +20 spell damage enchant on your gloves and stick a +8 Spell Hit gem in one of those blue sockets. You'd gain 11 spell damage and lost just 6 stamina.
