Let's get started.
-Obliterate and heart strike do NOT belong in the same sentence. One is used by frost DKs, the other by blood. Blood uses death strike only.
-Are you hit/expertise capped? 8% hit and 26 expertise is where you should be at to avoid misses and dodges.
-Gems: should be pure strength in all sockets, with a +21 agi and crit damage meta and a nightmare tear in the socket with the best bonus to activate it. Gem for hit and expertise if needed. You can gem according to socket color if the bonus is +6 strenght or more.
-Are you using cooldowns whenever you can? DRW benefits from any buffs you have up when you trigger it, so a trinket and hysteria should be activated first.
-Are these other DKs perhaps unholy specced? It's the premier dps spec right now if you have at least 4pc T9.
I can't help you out with talent choices if you don't link your armory or spec.
However,
this
is a pretty standard blood dps spec. If yours is very different, it's probably wrong somewhere. (I'm assuming you're blood since you mentioned heart strike)
rune tap? why? and no bloodworms? unless this is a raiding spec.. no improved blood prescence? doesnt that make the healers job less stressful? maybe im not doing something right then. my gear is crap and im still doing 1500-1700 dps in heroics.... just started.. hit 80 yesterday..

Bloodworms are a stronger DPS increase than Scent of Blood no matter what. No, Bloodworms won't run off and aggro a new pull unless you happen to run off and aggro one yourself. When not in combat, the Bloodworms sit behind you or beside you. Bloodworms also are lowest-priority for things like Chain Heal (since 3.1.1) and they die in one AoE blast anyway.
SoB may or may not proc off of AoE damage but that's not the point: Blood is already GCD-strapped. Considering extra RP sources like Revitalize, Rapture and AMS, Blood already has a hard time dumping excess RP since the second half of the rotation involves 6 strikes (instead of 3 like Frost or UH) without exacerbating the situation with SoB. SoB was made for tanks: leave it alone for DPS.
The one filler point in Blood can go anywhere you like, really, but Imp BP is the only talent left that won't be completely useless or destroy your rotation.
