Why ask us to do your job for you? You know you are waaay over hit cap and you have TWO hit trinkets--but you want US to find you trinkets?
Just in case you dont know, you can do a search on wowhead for trinkets, and organize them by where they are found.
The stickies will also let you know how to gem, and you can use femaledwarf.com to help you fine tune. (IE, it will tell you when a yellow socket bonus is worth an orange gem, and when it is better to just go agility)
Generally people frown on these "Fix me please, tell me what to do!" posts. It is better to do some reasearch yourself, then ask specific questions, we arent going to do the work for you.
At a first glance this is what I see: Your hit is more than double where it needs to be. Your crit is very low. Your Armor pen is low. Your haste might be a bit on the high side--compared to other stats.
Gems are cheap. I wouldnt raid with someone who has only rare gems--and you have some uncommon level ones in there! Run WG and BGs to get honor to buy gems, if you cant afford them straight away. OR use your profs to make you gold. OR run random heroics for extra emblems of triumph that can be downgraded for heroism for gems.
Finally, check the stickies for how you should be gemming. You never want AP, always agility. Dont use purple gems to unlock your meta. You only need ONE blue type gem (you have 2) and it should be a PRISMATIC nightmare tear--in your most valued blue socket. Any other blue sockets should be straight agility.

ok I was having a bad day yesterday :) I came back to try and help.
Your specs are off. Check the stickies for the correct MM spec and SV spec. I have the correct SV on my toon, Saffavia, if you perfer to look there.
Neither of your trinkets are very good, and with you being over hit-cap they are almost useless.
Ideally, you would want to get 2 of the following:
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=50198
H-FoS
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=44253
Between 4-6K gold
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=50342
10 ICC
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=47303
25 ToC
But you might have a hard time getting them. The DMC is expensive, and the other 3 have a low drop rate and a lot of people who want them. So here are 3 alternatives
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=40684
Convert any extra triumph emblems you have to heroism emblems, and you can buy this
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=47214
H-ToC 5m.
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=40431
25M OS. You might be able to get a group sometime when it is the weekly.
Focus on getting 2 of the above 7. Obviously the mirror will be the fastest to get, and you can work on getting the scorpion by running H-FoS every day, same thing with the BoV in H-ToC.

Making Gold
Check the prices for Borean Leather, Heavy Borean Leather, Drums of Forgotton Kings, Drums of the Wild and the various leg patches on your server. Then do a little math as to what will be your best way to make gold. On some servers, the raw LW mats sell for more than the drums & leg patches. On others drums are a great way to make money.
If anything involving leather sells well, set aside some time every day for aoe farming. I like the herds of mamoth in Borean Tundra. I get skins, mammoth meat (to sell or use for pet food), the occasional green item for DE, and they die easily while doing me little damage when I pull aggro off my pet.
If nothing sells well, just run daily quests. Thats what they are there for! Focus on quests that give Ebon Blade rep, since you need to get your rep up with them for a helm enchant.
Also, do WG at least once per week. Make sure you pick up all the weekly quests. Every quest grants you honor & stone keepers shards, and every battle grants honor & WG tokens. SKS and WG tokens can be used to buy BoA honor, and honor can be turned into gems. Gems for your gear, or gems to sell.

the Greatness card is definitely expensive,
Yeah, 8888g on my server....I can guarantee you'll never see one on my toon if I had to buy it from AH.

I got lucky tonight (Thurs 3/11) and got
Whispering Fanged Skull
Currently using that and the Mirror as my trinkets.
Question: Would it be worth the triumph emblems to get a second T9 piece for the bonus?
I have been grinding heroics wearing the Ebon Blade tabard and have gotten my rep up to Honored. Should hit Revered for my head enchant within a week, since I'm grinding badges to get a full set of heirlooms for the next toon I'm leveling.
Grats on the trink. And yes, get the 2pc T9. Either gloves (faster) or legs (better).
One other thing I noticed is you have the wrong enchant on your bow. Switch it to the 40 Ranged crit.
And double check the stickies for the glyphs, I dont run as MM, but I thought the serpent sting glyohs was key

Legs are the off-set piece, kitty.
He'll need the anub/deathwhisper 25 legs to get some decent arp/crit ratings. I'd suggest (personally)
t10 gloves / shoulders.
(sanc gloves are so easy to get from voa, shoulders are better than 245 triumph
ex-2nd bis
shoulders)
T9 chest/helm and get trophies asap.
(helm has lots of arpen, chest is your filler slot)
245 legs from anub 25, deathwhisper 25
...
This setup is fairly easy to get with badges, they are the cheapest pieces to get with frost. It will also require some luck with toravon but you can lead your own 25 pug and not bring any hunters.
You'll notice some stats on paper loss... but your serpent stings will crit for 1800+ in bad gear.
I agree, in pure theory. However, I have looked at his profile, including recent activity, and it appears to me that he is in a 10M raiding environment only, and so I wasnt taking into account ANY gear from either 25 ToC, or 25 ICC. If you notice, he has no bosses down in 25ToC.
So, my goals on advising him were 2 fold:
1) To get his dps up as high as possible, as FAST as possible. This means forgoing a few "ideal" gear choices, in favor of ones that could provide a substantial boost very quickly.
2) Reducing his hit rating. Even having replaced the trinkets, he is still running on 12.44% hit. And that is a lot of wasted stats. He has hit rating on his legs, and the T9 legs have no hit. Therefore, even though they arent generally an ideal set piece--they are better for him, as they trade a useless stat for a useable one.
I would not get the helm if I were him, because: the helm he has, while not as nice as the T9.5 helm, is superior to the T9 helm. Since he seems to have no access to 9.5 items since he only runs 10m, replacing his current helm with the regular T9 would be a downgrade.
He already has the chest.
