DPS not good enough...

Hey, hunters!
I have a hunter alt that I enjoy playing and I like to raid on. However, as it's an alt, I'm far from being a good player... especially in terms of DPS.
Depending on the fight, my DPS can range from 4k to 5.5k, but it hardly ever goes higher. And I think I can do better than that.
Here's my hunter:
Armory
As you can see there, I'm SV and fully gemmed for agility. My shot rotation is (I think) fine: Kill Shot>Explosive>Black Arrow>Serpent Sting>Aimed Shot.
Is it the gear, or is it my (lack of) skill? I know I need to replace my belt. I'd like some new trinkets, but I don't really know what to look for.
Would MM work better for me?
In other words, please critique my hunter. I'd appreciate any tips, I really want to start doing decent DPS. :) Thanks!

Thanks for your response! I'm thinking about going MM, shouldn't I regem to full arp then though? Would that give better results?
I also thought there is something wrong with the boot enchant, but my hunter-friend was using that, so I chose that as well. I'll change to +16 agi ASAP. I'm being cheap and not gemming the belt on purpose, I'm trying to get rid of it :) Also aiming for the head + chest from t10, but that's many, many emblems away. I'll also follow your hint about the SV spec for now :)
Assuming I'd go MM, would the Greatness card still be worth the money? Or should I aim for those ICC/ToC trinkets and stay with my Mirror for now? Thankies :)

Oh, I see. I'll try MM out and see if it works out for me. :)
Last question - I got myself a new belt, and also
Hauberk of a Thousand Cuts
. Is it worth losing the 2pc T9 bonus?

I decided to respecc to MM, changing talents as we speak. Thank you for all your helpful tips. I'll try to hunt for a better trinket while saving for the DMC :) Could you give me some tips about the shot priority for MM? Is it as shown in the sticky?
1. Kill Shot
2. Silencing Shot
3. Serpent Sting
4. Chimera Shot
5. Arcane Shot
6. Aimed/Multi Shot
7. Steady Shot
Just making sure. :)

Thank you Cialbi! Exactly the information I needed :) I macro'd Silencing Shot to all my shots in the rotation. I was able to hit 6.8k dps, when I learn the priority better I hope it will improve. Thanks a lot guys. :)
