You will be asked to post your armory so might as well do that now.
My computer stays in the 300-400 latency range spiking up to as high as 600 and I as a lvl 77 BM hunter have no problem maintaining 1-1.2k dps so I gotta think there is something else going on but with out more info on your spec, gear, gems, and enchants it will be hard to tell.

I am still learning much about the class but I would say that at a quick glance it is definitely a gear issue, at least largely. Not familiar with the spec so I can't comment on that.

The biggest thing that will increase your dps, is hit rating.
You are currently sitting on 3.35% hit rating. No wonder you are having trouble breaking 1k dps, you would be having trouble hitting the target! :P
There are some great guides on these forums, one in particular is how to gear up via normal/heroic hungeons, as well as craftable pieces that you can buy. With the emblem system how it is, you should be able to deck yourself out in some rather good gear quickly.
Mark of Supremacy, as much as I hate it, will be a good upgrade for you. This will provide a significant amount of hit rating for you (+128) and get you close to the cap (8% / 263 rating).
Have a read through the stickies however. Gearing via heroics these days is rather easy, and the ToC and ICC 5 man dungeons on normal mode also drop epics. Something to look into :)

Yeah your stats are way underpar for a ranged class that isn't a spell caster. The reason why you are doing more damage on your lock because you probably are better geared. That and spells favor the more undergeared.
It still racks my brain how fresh 80 hunters can't do above 1k dps. I was sitting at 2k dps at lvl 76 running 5 man DTK and Gundrak. Latency doesn't have that much of an impact as a ranged dps class, just hit your buttons when you can.
If you want to complain about latency, try tanking or healing. If you lag in those positions it's a wipe.

Also, if you fear your latency is causing some issues, get the addons
leatrix latency fix
and, more importantly,
quartz
.
I have to say look at this, I was running around 150-200 on latency but after I loaded the fix, I'm usually around 40-60. Framerates for me are still running around 60 too.
As it has been mentioned numerous times to count. Hit is the +1 stat we aim for until you're capped and yes, that means even having to talent for it.
