First thing first, never, and I repeat never use Arcane Shot if your SV. It shares the same cool down as Explosive, so really, your just gimping yourself.
Shot priority should look something like this:
KS > ES > BA > Aimed > Serpent > Steady
Your spec is fine.
You are seriously over the hit cap however. Hit cap is 263, your sitting on 366. Swap out some gear when you get the chance, aiming to drop your hit rating, and try and aim for Crit / Haste. They will provide the biggest bonus for you.

Why are you using AS? and SS first? Theres also no BA in your rotation.
From the threads on EJ, they're saying that SrS > BA > ES > Aimed/Multi for max DPS...lately. I haven't been trying that, I use ES > BA > SrS > Aimed and like it fine. Even the spreadsheet comes with SrS as the opener, although whenever I rearrange the shot priority it comes out the the exact same DPS, so I really don't feel it is worth the effort to put in full DPS tests just for that little detail.

To OP, I tried to put your info into the spreadsheet to play around with glyphs and such, but it wouldn't pull your info for some reason, it just said Orc with no gear
. It pulled me up when I did the exact same steps, so IDK. Generally I'd say you have better gear then
me
, and I even have some green gems, so 3k on the dummy should be easy since I did 3.2 just yesterday. I'll just offer a couple of suggestions that I've gleaned from the info here.
For the most part don't bother with socket bonuses, especially such minor ones as 4 stam and 4 Int, the 8 agility you are losing does not work out to be a worthy compromise (potentially 19 if you were to work to 400 JC.) With your current gear I'd suggest an orange gem in your gloves and a purple in either chest or legs since they have the same bonus. That activates your meta and the rest should be Agi (side note, why do you have and orange gem in your shoulders? Red socket, no?) This advice alone helps tremendously, I'm at 1431 agility with only half 25 man gear really.
I like having glyph of Kill Shot. I also have Aimed Shot, not sure of the benefit really, but I don't think the other ones are strong enough to justify replacing it. If you only replace one of your glyphs, Steady Shot generally seems to be more DPS than Serpent Sting.
Maybe you should try tweaking your rotation? As I said before, I use ES > BA > SrS > Aimed, and it has a very nice flow to it, as soon as Aimed is up the CD on ES is done so my first five shots flow perfectly like that. Give that a shot too.
Mostly just small tips, hope they help.

Also I think BA before SrS would be better wouldn't it? I'm not altogether sure if and how the 6% from BA effects SrS or the 3% from Noxious stings to SrS would affect BA. Haven't actually figured the math for it.
Meh, somebody at EJ has modeled and tested I'm sure, because everyone on the SV DPS thread seems to have latched on the idea. My guess on the order, though, has to do with the fact that BA does more damage than Serpent Sting, and also has a limited duration, so getting the 3% up for every single tick is the aim. Otherwise, you're missing the first tick. Just a guess, after all, I don't even put either of them up so its moot for me.
Maybe I'll try altering my personal rotation to ES > SrS > BA?

The only reason I go ES > BA > SrS is because most of the hunters I've read here and a couple blogs I read from time to time. Euripides and WHU were set that way when 3.1 first came out.
I think they fixed or reworked the way explosive shot works with misdirection now, so using it takes all 3 ticks
instead
of trying to use a 4th. I've had very good luck giving a tank all that threat at the very beginning, and I notice that I don't even register on Omen for several seconds, although this may just be placebo.
@ Raijinn, nice, I knew you could :)
