Your priority should be:
Spirit Wolves > Lightning Bolt (Single Target) / Chain Lightning (Multi-Target) if Maelstrom Weapon is at 5 Stacks > Stormstrike > Flame Shock, if DoT is up then Earth Shock (generally its 1 FS to every 2 ES) > Fire Nova > Lava Lash > Refresh Lightning Shield and Totems
Glyphs are Windfury, Stormstrike, and Spirit Wolves.
Now as for your gear, all the sockets you have gemmed for crit should be gemmed for either Haste, AP, or Haste and AP. The expertise gems are fine if they're needed to get you to cap. To activate your meta just put a Nightmare Tear in the blue socket that presents the best bonus, rest of the gems should be red or orange. That cloak is sort of a waste of badges, as Bizzuri's Totem, the belt, and any of your t10 pieces is a much larger upgrade. (10 man Marrowgar has an excellent cloak for us). You have a lot of ArP on your gear, which you may want to avoid if possible.
To be more objective, what sort of DPS are you seeing in what situation? I pull anywhere from 4 to 6k in most heroics. Haven't raided in awhile so I'm not sure where I'm at there anymore.

Thanx for the advice as dor my dps i do roughly about 3.5k in heroics and about 4k in 10 man raids, another question with my talent points should i take the points out of call of flame and elemental focus and put those points into ancestral knowledge.

On the contrary, you should probably remove the point from Elemental Focus and place it into Call of Flame. The DPS increase from CoF is much higher than the extra %o of INT from AK, even factoring in Mental Dexterity, mostly because the extra INT will equate to < 50 or so AP.

Everyone has already said the good stuff regarding your gear, gems and talents.
What fire totem are you dropping? Make sure its always
Magma Totem
even on single targets, and always make sure you keep it active during battle. Once it fizzles out, drop it again, repeat. Never use Searing Totem.
