4k + DPS in 10 mans, what gear is required?

I'm a full destruction (or near enough) Warlock which all but 1 item for the
Epic
achievement. I've got a couple of Ulduar items.
My problem is I'm using the MMO-Champ macro for my build, which is immolate, chaos bolt, conflagrate, incinerate (repeat) and have trouble getting above 3-3.1k damage in 10 mans, and around 3.8 damage in 25 mans.
I've had a person tell me in a pug raid that with my gear I should "be ashamed" of this DPS. I can't really understand how I'm going wrong. The only thing I can think of is the gems. My glyphs are the ones the MMO-Champ give, and I'm pressing the right combos.
Can anyone tell me if it's possible to improve this?

Co(fill in the blank)
What's the blank? Corruption, Cu(o)rse of Doom, conflag?

It will be Elements if there are no Unholy Death Knights/Boomkins, Agony for short fights, Doom for boss fights (until <90 second phase), or Weakness if requested for missing raid debuffs.

Anyone that abuses you for doing 3.8k dps is an elitest wanker. you should be able to pull a bit more, but 3.8 is not to be ashamed of.
The rotation Kangi/Fmatt have suggested is better, but it won't cghange your figures much.
As has been said above, throw an armory link in, it might help.

Very helpful huh? Mr. Proz
Your glyphs and talents have no problems, except Change the pants enchant by 50sp20spirit, Enchant Helm with Kirin Tor enchant (requires revered), Enchant Shoulders with Sons of Hodir enchant (lesser at honored and greater at exalted), Enchant Chest with +8stats (if posible +10stats),
Level your tailoring so you can get a back enchant (a proc of +250 spell power)
Change your belt's gem by something more useful like Spell Power or Spell Power/Haste.
Boss Fights: Immo>CoD (gives enough time to conflagrate become avaliable)>Conflagrate>CB>Incinerate (til conflagrate become avaliable again) [considering the presence of a moonkin/unholy dk).
Small fights: just replace the CoD with CoA (considering the presence of a Moonkin/Unholy DK).
Pratice it on Target Dummy in any Major City, make sure to always bring with you to raids Flasks (Flask of the Frost Wrym), Food that gives the buff Well Feed (something useful and to your level =P), if Posible some Potions like Wild Magic, use your spellstone (its better than the firestone), try to don't mess up the GCD because if you fail casting something it will take another half-gcd (0.75secs) to you be able to cast something else.
Sorry to make a big post, just trying to be as helpful as posible.
Good Luck.

Thanks for the suggestions. I do use flasks and food, and a firestone. I've tried the target dummies and don't get above 3.2k and it's generally around 3k.
Being reliant on the imp for more damage means certain bosses like OS10 make bringing the pet back and forth a pain. The resistances on the felhunter make this a non-issue but I do a fair amount less DPS then.
But I'll give the enchants a go and stick in a curse of agony as that will probably add a few hundred. I find myself life tapping when I'm out of mana (which bugs the healers) so if I move to that glyph I'll have to get use to the style I was use to as affliction, which I find a bit monotonous.
Levelling tailoring...not looking forward to that again but it looks like a nice enchant for the back.

This item would make a big difference:

But apart from that, and the small changes to my rotation you look like you have roughly the same spell damage. So how are you getting 2000 more damage per second? I'm confused. The same spell order, same buffs, same spell power.
Obviously it's down to enchants with spell power and crit in some way.

Good one, of course everybody thinks you are the god of warlocks now.

Next time bragg with a screeny at least.

OH EM GEE I HAVE GREENS AND DID 9k DEEPS WITHOUT RAID BUFFS Cause i died and like a healer had to bRez mE and stuffs so I had no bufs and I'm like so uBeR i Brough my $%^&t deps back Up FroM like 2.1k To OVER NINE THOUSANDS!
Pic or it didn't happen.
WWS Would be better. =\
Anyways, Change out your 16spirit and 16 crit gem for 19sp. You can buy them with honor/badges if your broke. With your spec you are over hit cap. If you can count on a boomkin/spriest being in the raid, then you can regem everything you have to +19sp gems. Work on enchanting your head/chest. Just keep goin at it and good luck!

And sorry for being not-so-helpful.
My rotation is: CoD - Immo - Conflg - CB - Incin (Spam) and conflg always when rdy and CD too
Wow, I took a look at the bragging guys armory and it looks like his dps isn't the only thing over nine thousand. He has a lot of surplus hit there, seems like something he should fix.
And if you talk about me, yeah I am going to fix my hit rating.. I just got Faerlina's Madness and I am trying to replace my chest to non-hit one :)
