why not cast siphon life or immolate? you're an affliction lock, why spec into the spell if you're not going to use it? I also might try a new spec, just to mix things us, maybe dig down to get UA, or try destro. You might see better results with a more focused talent distribution. Just mixing it up and trying a new rotation might key you into a perferred playstyle or give you a new perspective on how to improve your current rotation.

Also, consider group make-up when comparting dps. Do the other casters have a shadow priest, ele shaman or boomkin? Do they get to cast damage curses while you're stuck on coe? Those things can mean 200-300 dps shift.

As far a gear goes, i would focus on picking up spell damage while not losing your hit. This can be in a couple ways.

Grind exaulted with scyers - you're not far now, so spend some time grinding or just buy it, the new shoulder chant would help.

Grind exaulted with violet eye - upgrade the ring and get some badges - or just upgrade the violet eye ring with the badge ring which is amazing. You would get more damage and free up 4 gems slots.

Replace your +6 spell hit gems - you have 7, even if you just replace them with +8 gems you can free up 2 gems slots for an extra 18 damage and still be above the cap. If you're swimming in badges, start putting epic gems in items you'll keep in bt and hyjal, like the belt of blasting, 2 10 hit gems there will give you a lot of flexability.

If you don't mind the grind, you can pick up the s2 weapon and grab the orb of the soul eater or the haste offhand from badges. The blade and staff have the same amount of damage so your offhand would be a pure upgrade, you could even mix it up with the kara offhand that has spell hit on it.

Start hitting up za on offnights, aim for the hex shruken head and the caster ring from the third timed event. You guild should be able to consistantly make it to 3 chests if you're progressing into early t6, plus you might get a bear in the mean time. The helm from there is pretty much equal to the cowl from void reaver, and both are upgrades.
