Just some basic stuff I see from glancing:

-Items not enchanted (OH, Shoulder, Chest)
-Gemming Agi over AP... Agi is only one AP now, and I know elitist jerks says gem AP (unless you're going for haste, that is).
-Mongoose. Yes, it sounds good and all, but double 'zerking is the way to go if you really want to be serious. If you're just being cheap, that's one thing, but Berserking is still better.
-Once your mana can stand it, toss 2/2 Imp Stormstrike into Fire Nova, since it's part of even single target priorities at this point (albeit semi-low on the list)
-Are you weaving flame shock? You should be.
-DROP glyph of Lava Lash and get Feral Spirits if you're raiding. It is -required-. Again, EJ says this. It and Stormstrike are top-tier glyphs, and you should have them, period.
-Vengance of the Foresaken sucks. You're probably better off gemming the expertise if you have access to another trinket. (Note: I'm not 100% sure on this one on a Shammy, but for other classes it blows big nice chunks, so I can only assume the worst).
-Toss +6 stats to wrist and crit to feet and get AP or expertise/AP.

Now, keep in mind most of what I said is pretty nit picky, but you're talking about min-maxing, so there you go.

Also: I still think you're aiming a little high. Your gear isn't -that- great (not bad, but not -that- great). 6-6.5 is much more reasonable than 7.5, at least until you pick up some upgrades imo.

Your dps is good for your gear. Tribunal mentioned the most important points and you should listen to him. Especially dropping the exp trinket, getting your glyphs right and speccing FN is important. Just check EJ for the cookie cutter spec (you can take points out of Imp. Shields).

The next upgrade you should buy is the Herkuml War Totem for Emblems of Frost. It is the BiS trinket for Shamans and it will solve your biggest problem, getting rid of the really crappy Vengance of the Forsaken.

Keep in mind that your maximum theoretical dps in raids depends on the raid buffs just as much as on your gear. Averaging dps over different run doesn't really do any good (except of course if in every single one of them all raid buffs were present).

I only included FS since you're wearing 4pc. Otherwise, in my opinion, the numbers are small enough that unless you're truly 100% min-maxing it's more of a personal issue.

And as for simming it, make sure you have the proper no-clipping options enabled. Clipping the DoT will always be a DPS loss over ES, almost regardless of gear.

AND, if you're willing to look forward, 3.3.3 could possibly rewrite a fair bit of this, though if I can find the time I need to get my hands on it and see.

Couple things: Delaying a LB with MW5cnt is always a bad plan in everything I've read, so I think it should be higher in the priority.

I am also not that crazy about shield/totem being that high in the rotation, but I could be wrong on that count too.

And as for AP vs Haste, again, this is what I've read, not so much played with (Enhance is an alt thing for me, so I don't really have access to enough gear variety to play with most things, or enough quality gear to play with things correctly :) ) is that simming is the only way to determine which is better for you at any given time.

And knowing what I know about people, a lot of them probably go "Simming? Screw that" and just stack AP. Others actually simmed out that AP was better and are stacking it because of that.

I know when I ran myself through EnhSim, haste came out ahead but I still went with the AP totem out of gut reaction. I do plan on buying the haste totem down the line, though.

Also: Get the Frost Trinket. It's really, really tasty.
