As Goldish already stated, you should not compare the DPS you see in raids to the DPS you do in dummies, and you will have a ton of buffs affecting your abilities in raids that you will not have on a dummy, so your DPS will always be a lot lower.
As for a rotation, for bosses, use:
Living Bomb --> Fireball --> Hot Streak (on proc)
Be sure to refresh LB whenever it runs out. If you do not have a Warlock specced into Improved Shadow Bolt, you might have to put up Scorch, in which case it's the same rotation as above, but with 5x Scorch between LB and Fireball, and you'll have to make sure it stay up on the boss at all times.
In order of importance if you have multiple actions happening at once, assuming you do not have to keep Scorch up is:
#1 Living Bomb, #2 Hot Streak, #3 Fireball
*EDIT* Seems 2 other people posted while I was typing this, so apologies for any double information.

Ty for the help :) im not compare with my dps on raids but what i do on dummy with my arcane spec. i can do 3.5k on the dummy with 54/3/14.
atm i have 2xt7,5 and 2xt8 set bonus i use.
have tryed the rotation you say and i still only get like 2.9 or 3k max with fire.. can it be my hit cape that is to low? im only at 15% cause i have stack way more sp atm.
PS. my armory is updatet now :)

Not being hit capped can mean a lot DPS wise, as it's the single most important stat to have until you reach 17%.
If your indeed stacking SP over Hit, than I'd advise you to not do so. If your in dire need of Hit, gem for the +9SP/+8Hit gems.
Arcane being higher on the dummy than Fire can mean that Arcane might be less dependent on raid buffs than Fire hence doing better than Fire on the dummy, but worse on raid bosses.
