Hi . . if your doing 3k dps in "good" gear then you must be doing somthing wrong :/
try download this addon FBN
http://elitistjerks.com/f73/t49702-feralbynight_cat_bear_simulation_tool/
its pure win even if u dont use the suggestion attack thingy its still pretty damn nice
other then that read stickys and im sure u will be topping the meters . i sure as hell didnt do good dps when i dinged 80 still had claw on my action bars :> at the moment im doing *!@# loads of dps in uld25/ toc - single target dps only thing that can touch us is rogues / dks or at least from me :) GL

Mangle>SR>rake>TF>shred to 5 cp >rip if no trauma/mangle bot keep mangle up other then that try to keep SR/RIP @ 100% up time and push some fbs if u can handle it

If you and your bf are in similiar levels of gear and your losing to a boomkin, somethings definitely wrong. Boomkin is alot easier though, and cat can be pretty difficult (sometimes its better NOT to use abilities the moment you get the energy to do so depending on the timers left on SR and Rip- this often isn't mentioned and is a pretty subtle thing) If you aren't already, make sure your using a mod like badkitty or powerauras for tracking buffs/debuffs; makes things much easier. The rest is getting used to using energy wisely.

I love feral DPS "rotations" due to the simple fact they're quite complex. I use the BadKitty addon which I personally like a lot more then FeralByNight. (I don't want addons telling me what to do.)
Boomkin rotations are so boring.

I play a boomkin, and we have a really easy rotation. From what I hear, feral is a very complex rotation, possibly most complex of any other class/spec. So ... that's the reason you're having a hard time.
Don't kill yourself, go boomkin.

My kitty dps is ridiculous. I have only had him to 80 for three weeks, picked up some ToC gear, the vendor legs, gemmed all ArP, and average over 3k self buffed on the target dummy. Raid buffed I am 3500+ and on a short zerg, I have hit as high 4700 dps.
My pally has NEVER done those numbers, and the crummy thing is, there really isn't any way to "improve" pally dps except through gear. Druid dps gets better and better the more you practice the rotation (which, btw, there is no rotation for a feral druid, its constantly changing).
My only complaint is the positional requirements. Some mobs turn to hit the raid or actually have turn to heal (Never understood that one), and you lose out on dps every time they do that. Does blizz have no control over that mechanic, the one where mobs turn away form the tank to heal themselves?
Maybe blizz could lift the positional requirements for PvE but leave them for PvP?

I assume they eventually will, they removed it from Mutilate. Its not that annoying, but on fights like Kologarn or the Snowbolds on Northrend Beasts, it gets a little irritating. Blizzard seems to like the fact that Cat DPS is improved with skill and knowledge (I like it this way too) -- but the positional requirement of shred has little to do with this, and wouldn't have much effect on the overall difficulty of cat DPS.

An armory link to your feral would probably give us a better idea on how to help you out.

I'ld say with your gear 3k dps isn't terrible. You might be able to squeeze a little more dps if you refine your rotation, but I wouldn't expect 4k dps from the gear you have. Since your guild is running 25m ulduar, I would recommend you ask them if you can sub in your druid for XT-002 for
Twisted Visage
if you don't have any other druids that need the staff. That would get you your hit cap and allow you to use another piece or 2 of ulduar gear.
Grim Toll
would be an amazing upgrade as well. Just as a rule of thumb, never gem AP.... Agility until you have 230 or so armor pen on gear, then full out armor pen gems. I'ld expect to see around 6500 ap raid buffed in your gear, which is below a lot of geared druid's ap unbuffed. I'm not saying it's terrible, I'm just saying getting
Twisted Visage
will give you more flexibility with gems and gear, and get you a ton more FAP than your
Wraith Spear
and you won't be afraid to enchant it with something good. That upgrade alone might boost your dps close to 4k with a solid rotation(and ferals are the only ones that want that staff, Journey's end is better for hunters than this staff).
