My crit is 14.77% (and for some reason in every group I'm in for a heroic or raid there's always a boomkin so that's a 5% bonus) and my spell hit is 15.57%. My cast rotation is CoE, Immolate, sbolt spam then when immolate has around 3 seconds left I conflag and recast immolate and repeat. I'm for some reason barely getting over 700 dps! Is this just cause I'm not ready or am I ready (talking about gear here) and I'm just not casting my spells right?

Typically, 20% unbuffed crit is a starting point, closer to 25% is desirable... your 15.5% hit is pretty close so it's debatable if you really have to have 16%. I have often felt a little weird to not put up my full DoTs rotation (as I used to raid as Affliction) but for SB-spamming, you really only put up the initial set of DoTs to let the tank build their threat, and after the first rotation of DoTs, you pretty much just SB-spam. Thus many people feel a little sick of the shadowmage style, cause it's pretty boring.
