Alternate Spec - Elemental - Looking for some tips

I have recently converted my Shaman to Restoration mainspec as my guild was constantly short healers for dungeons/raids.
So far I have only completed heroics and firelands trash runs going this spec but have had zero issues with mana or keeping everyone healed so for my main spec I will keep tweaking things to get even better, my issue though is with my offspec of Elemental.
Originally I was enhancement, and I put together a pretty decent set and would be averaging about 17k dps through a dungeon, and maxing out at around 22k on boss fights. Now this damage I was quite happy with.
Now I have an issue though because I decided to switch my dps spec to Elemental, primarily since it was becoming so expensive to keep updating enchants and gear between a castor and a melee spec. Now I know I will not be completely optimized for elemental since I will be using my restoration gear for dps, with just a few minor different items to help elemental more. Example I do not use my Darkmoon Card: Volcano for healing. Aside from switching out my Darkmoon Card: Tsunami out for a more dps oriented Trinket are there any other glaring changes I can make to bring up my dps? (also have to get rid of the pvp ring I'm using for both specs - this is my next purchase for valor/justice points). (Also sure if I buy the elemental tier armour I can squeeze more dps out)
I'm averaging around 10K dps in Dungeon and maxing out at 14k dps on bosses. Have not tried a raid in elemental spec. I believe once I get the priority rotation down even smoother that my dps will go up by a few hundred to maybe 1k or more.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Minor things, but I would probably swap out
Charred Glyph
with
Charred Glyph
until you get 4pc T12. Likely going to take a while as an offspec. Also, remember that your current foot-enchantment is useless, as it doesn't stack with
.
Else it seems to be a matter of getting better - and more Elemental oriented - gear.

Thanks, I will try switch those glyphs and I didn't even realize that about the foot enchant; I will switch that as well.
Also I do think it was more so being unfamiliar with the priority attack system. I played extensively over the weekend as elemental and now have my numbers up to 15k avg dps, and anywhere between 25K and even high 30K for boss fights (depending on mechanics). Other then that I'm impressed just how little heavy movement fights affect the elemental dps.
Thanks for the pointers, I'll adjust accordingly.
