I've been having occasional trouble with it too.
Frost Bomb - FB til 3 stacks - FFB til BF (or Fireblast if I know it's very soon) - FFB and IL when respective procs pop.
With the pet, I've been barely scratching 10k, or so my Omen says, but then it is always showing the tank to be doing 250K+dps...
(so either my Omen is borked, or I am, and I'm more inclined to believe the latter.)

K, Im gonna show you 3 rotations. Single target, many targets and Full burst.
when there is 1 target:
Frost Bomb
Frost Bolt
Frost Bolt
Pet nova freeze before the bomb explode > Deep freeze
Ice lance
Ice lance
Ice lance
Frostfire Bolt
Presence of mind
Frostfire Bolt
- If its not dead, 10secs will have passed and you ll be able to cast Frost bomb again.
- You can cast Frozen orb for a single target if you want -replacing 1 Frostbolt for it- to gain maxium damage out of it because of the target been in deep freeze, but i ve found myself rarely doing this.
- You can add mirror image and icy veins if no boss is near to encounter as well
When there are 2-X targets:
Frost Bomb
Frost Bolt
Frost Bolt
Pet nova freeze before the bomb explode
Frozen Orb
Ice lances -As many fingers of frost proc from the orb-
Frostfire Bolt
Presence of mind
Frostfire Bolt
-or-
Presence of mind
Ring of frost
Ice lances - 1 to each frozen target-
Deep freeze the last frozen one
Ice lance
Ice lance
Ice lance
- Ok, when there are more than 2 targets, you will want to optimize and seize every freeze you can get your hands on. That means Tabbing among the frozen targets to produce as much damage as possible... You pet nova'd 2 targets? Frostbolt+Ice lance the first one and move on to the other which is still frozen. It requires a little bit of attention to max out your multiple targets dps, but its not as hard as it sounds.
- After this sequence, you can repeat it -Start casting Frost Bomb again- after the presence of mind's Frostfire Bolt or narrow it down to a single target burst rotation, your choice
- You can add mirror image and icy veins if no boss is near to encounter as well
Full Burst - Boss/single target-
Frost Bomb
Frozen Orb
Mirror Image
Icy Veins
Trinkets
Time warp
Frost Bolt
Alter time -At this point you will have 2 procs of Finger of forst and Brain Freeze-
Ice lance
Ice lance
Frostfire Bolt
Presence of mind
Frostfire Bolt
-Alter time ends-
Ice lance
Ice lance
Frostfire Bolt
Frost Orb
Pet nova freeze
Ice lance
Ice lance -If you get two procs from the pet freeze-
Frostfire Bolt
- I know, thats a ton of things to do, but believe me, thats a 15-16secs rotation, from which you will seize every proc available.
- You can minimize the rotation time even more by putting the Cooldowns -Ici veins, mirror image, trinkets, Time warp, etc- into appropiate macros.
Bottomline, you need to pay attention to every single target and rotate your skills according to your available freezes and procs, if you get 10 fingers of frost from the orb, use them! And dont overlap skills which would interfere with your rotation timing. For example, there is no use in deep freezing something, then start casting frozen bomb for example, you will waste the deep freeze entirely. The idea is to time the Frost bomb and deep freezen so your bomb explodes within the frozen seconds.. and such.
Hope it helps, let me know

I'm not sure where you're coming from, my mage has been topping the meters in the dungeons I've been in so far, roughly 20-30k dps.
Though to be honest, I wouldn't worry too much about dps until you reach 90, as long as the bosses are dying.

Omen is a Threat Meter, not a DPS meter, tanks are going to be over 250k TPS, but definitely not dps.
Recount or Skada
