What am I doing wrong....

Using my 6/14/51 build that has been picked by the elitist jerks as the top dps spec for raids, wearing one t7.5 and two t7 pieces, everything enchanted, 4400ap with IAotH, 5300 with a 10m buff setup, on average.
Although my memory fails me at this time, I have the 3 "popular" glyphs for a SV setup. Still using a cat, as I found the raptor drops me lower than my already pathetic dps.
WHY am i STUCK at 2700dps?
Usual "rotation" ends up being
Serp, Explo, Multi, Steady, Steady, Explo, Steady, Multi, Steady, repeat
Something along those lines.
If LnL procs, Explo, Steady, Explo, etc..
With proper tracking, hunters mark when single targeting, using the quick shot skill(forget the name), the troll racial skill of improved speed, and kill command, with saronite arrows.
No matter what I do.
I got to see 3200 at one point, on a lowbie boss during a guildie run.
What is wrong with me? I'm weaving perfect, absolutely no time delay between shots, except when there are milliseconds of time between whether to fire another steady or wait for explo.
I'm so frustrated with this I'm ready to reroll a damn shadow priest.
I'm very skeptical that 2 more pieces of tier gear are going to add 2000~ dps.
I did a heroic violet hold yesterday for rep, a FRESH 80 hunter was 500 dps behind me with NO purple gear except the xbow i have.
armory in sig.
I'm still tinkering with my hit rating, I found myself floating between 7 and 9 percent depending on the trinket I use, so please no comments about that. I know what the cap is and I'm at it during bosses.
All other thoughts are welcome.

Drop the 5/5 IAotH, get aimed shot into your rotation instead of multi.
Get 3/3 Improved Stings.
I picked this build as a direct "cookie cutter" respec from elitistjerks
Immediately I saw a 500 dps increase by using multi instead of aimed, trash and single target... So unless you can show me something to prove your theory.. I'll stick with my spec.
In response to Tawnos, I'm rarely ever in viper. Usually only on trash or for a few brief seconds during a long boss fight where my mana finally runs out.
Yes i'm using recount, and i've examined the data, Explosive usually rounds up for about 65% of my total damage, unless volley is included in the trash.

ioath, serp, and steady are the glyphs...
all skills are max rank
latency always less than 100ms
my fps sucks though, enough to where being a "clicker" is completely out of the question. i've got quite a mess of skills bound to 2 seperate actions bars, switching with shift+1 or shift+2. its not very proficient, but all boss skills are in 1 bar.
im very anxious to make a custom ui, of course i chose server maintenance time to decide to change stuff around...
i would like to keybind everything & attempt to get used to that, but i use AWSD for my movement and i also dont want to lose any of the "stock" keybinds like B, M, L, P, O, I, U, Y, N, or V, so my options are limited. any suggestions there?

It will vary with buffs. Agil with Kings makes a huge difference. Might can too. I have gone back to eating Agility food buffs prior to a run. Makes a difference. I run with TWO trinkets that proc the same buff, Mirror of truth and Anvil of titans. Why? Because with two, they seem to proc far more often, adn the extra 1K AP is sweet.
One thing to consider, if you are having to switch to viper alot during boss fights, your DPs will drop a fair amount. I have also found that when I have to move around a great deal (such as in the vault), it takes a hit too.

@ OP: I just noticed
your spec
is
not the spec on EJ
.
It is very similar but there is a difference, although, its one I dont really understand. The EJ build seems to be based around 'trap dancing' since it includes Savage Strikes, yet, it does not include Trap Mastery (which is very odd to me) since you pretty much have to drop a trap.
The only way I could see not taking Trap Mastery is if you always drop a Frost Trap rather than an Immolation Trap, since Frost Trap currently does not trigger the 30 second CD on LnL. The question becomes which is greater? The extra damage from your Immolation Traps should you take Trap Mastery or the extra damage from LnL procs without the 30 second CD?
Either way though, neither of those things have a real effect on your dps or offer any insight as to why youre so low.
Ill offer this however: Assuming perfect conditions and perfect rotation in a 10 man I cant get much more than that either... i top out around 3.5 - 4k. Survival is much better suited for 25's than 5's and 10's in my opinion. Im working on trying to pin point which buffs I end up losing in a 10 man that I would normally have in a 25.
Put together a very specific 10 man group for OS last night with a Fury Warrior, Pally, Shadow Priest, B-DK, Enhance Shammy. So I had Might or Kings, Horn of Winter, Abominations Might, Replenishment, and totems, plus all flasks and food buffs... not too sure what id be missing other than having BOTH Kings and Might.
Anyways Id suggest go testing in a full 25 man clear and see how you do then compare.
