Are you talking about for pve? If pve, are you gearing to do heroics and/or raids? Are you testing your dps on the dps target dummies? 18k on dummies isn't great, but isn't horrible for your current gear/enchants etc... Your dps on the dummies will be significantly lower compared to in a raid and dungeon group. Dungeon group gives 5-30% buff, and you gain dps from raid buffs.
Should be using deadly poisons instead of wound poisons. WP is for PVP mostly.
Noxxic is horrible, go with icy veins (

) and EJ (

). More to read, but you learn more.
You need a helm with a meta slot, that'll buff your dps.
I wouldn't worry with the Expose Armor debuff. Read

about it. To be honest, I haven't used this in any raids because warriors/druids are good at applying it.
Pooling energy BEFORE using RvS (Revealing Strike) is the key. If your rupture/SnD has a long duration left and your RvS is about to fall off. Burn off as much energy as possible with your normal rotation as possible. Then wait until your energy *almost* reaches cap and re-apply RvS and continue with your rotation. DO NOT let yourself be energy cap, that is a waste of energy and a loss of dps.
You are a little over hit cap, and a little under exp cap, also reforge belt from hit to haste instead of hit to mastery.
Belt gem needs to be a red agi gem, chest gem needs to be a purple agi+hit gem. When you get around 490ish ilvl, haste gives you more dps compared to agi. So far blue slots you will want green haste/hit, red = agil/haste, yellow = pure haste, prismatic = pure haste. This is subject to change if bliz changes things around.
Your main hand sword needs to be either windsong or dancing steel enchant.
Get the engineer dragon trinket instead of the str on use Daelo's Final Words trinket. Put hit/exp/haste into the dragon trinket.
Should be using KS (killing spree) on cd, followed by AR and SB. AR and SB share the same cooldowns so they should ALWAYS be used at the same time. Make a macro that activates them both at the same time.
Don't use Kidney Shot. I only use that when I NEED to interrupt something and my kick is on cd. Most adds/bosses in raids that need to be interrupted cannot be stunned.
Most bosses cannot be disarmed.

You don't need engineering to be able to use the dragonling to the full potential. The cogwheels are effective for ANYONE regardless as their professions.
Also, all those tips and tricks are *mostly* for combat rogues.
