10m ICC 7k DPS?

I'm doing a pitiful 4k dps on the lower spire bosses, yet i've read other unholy DK's are doing 6k, 7k. I've read the EJ 3.3 unholy thread and follow that rotation. Unless my gear actually dictates that i should be doing 4k dps on bosses in 10ICC, what am i doing wrong?
IT-PS-BS-BS-SS-Garg-HOW-SS-SS-IT-PS
Priority BS on blood runes
Priority SS on Death runes
I feel like i should be doing more than 4.2k on Saurafang if anything. Correct me if I'm wrong and i hope this thread helps other DK's making their way into ICC

Not to sound like a jerk, but I'd say 4K in that gear is low... My DK has less gear than that and is able to pull ~5K on Beasts10 overall.
I'd recommend using an addon to track rune cooldown timers and disease durations. Like Italiandk said, you've got far too much hit on your gear. That means that quite a bit of itemization is going towards a stat that is adding zero DPS.
A couple of places you can swap out hit rating:
-
Titanium Spikeguards
-
Bloodbath Belt
-
Saronite Gargoyle Cloak

Your bad dps has nothing to do with gear. Yes, you could make some minor upgrades but those will in no way even remotely be able to fill the
huge
gap between what you are doing and what you should do.

2pt9+2pct10 Reaping, for me, increased my single target dps by around 800-1k. This is upgrading from 4pct9 Non Reaping.

Second (or third?) to the gearing choices. !@#$ the GearScore, look for actual gear stats. I've found that many lower level items has better itemization for specific roles, glad I've had RatingBuster and took a VERY close look on items I was about to craft/purchase. Saved me days of grinding badges/money.
I wish you luck in your journey :)

You should be able to do close to 5.5k in your gear if not higher depending on buffs (Might / Kings / 10% AP / WF Totem, etc..)
Your rotation doesn't seem exactly right though Try this;
PS - IT - BS - BS - SS - DC – HoW
SS - SS - SS - DC - DC*
Repeat...
*The second DC in the second part of the rotation is only if you have the RP. You won't always have it.
Yes you can swap IT and PS at the start of the rotation.
Also some other things to check:
Are you in Blood Presence and not Unholy?
What kind of FPS / latency do you usually have in raids? A slow PC with single digit frame rates and/or 1k latency can really kill your DPS.

I'm not trying to bash you at all but I'm pulling 6k on all those fights too and im horribly geared in comparison to you... This is also taking into factor not having crap for raid buffs. What do you do on a non-patchwork style fight? do you just run around? try spamming IT and DC on movement phases and make sure your diseases are refreshed before the movement even starts. How are you timing your Gargoyle? It should be saved till your sigil procs along with trinket procs (cause your AoD and Gar both benefit from your buffs as their summoned).
Hope that helps somewhat : /

I did a 25icc and noticed when i didn't have to move at all (Saurufang) I did 6k. On my 10icc team, i'm helping out with the kiting and doing little things to make myself worthwhile (only non pure dps'er) But i still feel on the first 2 bosses, i should be able to at least hit upper 4k dps. and i have noticed i have a lot of hit.
Thanks for the help. Lot of this helps I'm still willing to hear more suggestions/opinions.

DPS is only half the story. Total Dmg tells the other half. Sometimes my DPS is lower than others, but my total dmg is way on top. Simply because I take precautions to move out of AOE dmg and just not sit there and burn CDs/rotations and expect healers to keep you up while sittin in the fire or poison.
So in general, you just gotta know the fight and figure out which part of the fight will give you the most out of your burst dps, like gargoyle, AotD, trinks, potion, etc.
I've seen mages try to skew the "Dps chart" in VOA25 by sitting around til boss is lower than 20%, bust out all their CDs/mirror/trinks, and do 12k-13k dps on the DPS chart, but sit at the bottom of the Total Dmg chart.
Just some food for thoughts. As long as you are doing your job and you guys are progressing, it's all good. It's no point in doing 10k dps if your raid/guild is not getting the job done.

QFT, this increased my dps by roughly 20%.
