A link to your wowarmory.com profile would help in determining what items would be the easiest/best to upgrade first.
If your wondering if it's possible to get over 1100 + Shadow Damage., well yes it is but requires an extensive investment of time in the game. Gathering the best gear with the absolute best gems (+12 Spell Dmg gems cut from gems that drop in the Black Temple) and most expensive enchants such as the +54 Soulfrost weapon enchant (costs 600+g in mats) could go much higher.

I'll assume this is pre-25 man raiding. Here are some suggestions:
Head
Spellstrike Hood
(2) +9 dmg gems, (1) +12dmg gem (PVP), Shatar glyph. 98dmg.
Waist
Belt of Blasting
, (2) +9dmg. 68 dmg.
Leggings
Trial-Fire Trousers
3 (9d), epic thread 111dmg
Spellstrike Pants
3 (9d), epic thread 108 dmg
Trinkets
The new
Battlemaster's Audacity
and
Icon of the Silver Crescent
for 90 dmg combined.
Rings
Run heroic MT for
Cobalt Band of Tyrigosa
35dmg
and
Violet Signet
26dmg @ friendly.
Offhand
Orb of the Soul-Eater
is a great SP offhand. 51 dmg
Amulet
Ritssyn's Lost Pendant
will last you a long time. 51 dmg
Bracers
Studious Wraps
2 +9dmg gems, +20 dmg enchant for 78 dmg
Archmage Gloves of Shadow Wrath
+20dmg enchant for 78dmg
Wands
The Black Stalk
20dmg
Carved Witch Doctor's Stick
27dmg socketed
Flawless Wand of Shadow Wrath
25dmg
This list avoids random drops for the most part. It's purely PVE where you won't need stats much.

Looks like
you're
sitting on 1030 +Shadow damage which is very nice but you are still under the spell hit cap so look to get to 76. Nothing will kill your DPS more than resists. Here are a few quick upgrades that should take you little time to do and will help increase your DPS.
Waist
Girdle of Ruination
- Much easier to get crafted than the Belt of Blasting and you don't have to roll against 10+ other DPS players on Cord of Screaming Terrors which only has a 15% chance to drop anyways.
- (2) +9 gems = 57 Spell Damage
Trinket - DPS
Glowing Crystal Insignia
- Easy to obtain quest reward (+26 passive / +104 Active)
Mark of Defiance
- Easy to obtain vendor item (+32 passive / Chance to restore mana - passive)
Trinket - Spell Hit
Starkiller's Bauble
- Quest reward (+26 Spell Hit / +125 spell damage on-use w/1 min CD)
Terokkar Tablet of Vim
- Quest reward (+22 Spell Hit / +84 spell damage on-use w/1 min CD)
Either trinket will allow you to replace FSW gear with all +9 gems.
Hands
Replace
Gloves of the Incarnate
with
Handwraps of Flowing Thought
(2) +9 Gems, +20 Enchant = 73
The T4 gear for Shadow Priests is pretty crappy IMO. Even with the changes to Meditation in 2.3 Spirit is not a major stat we are looking for.
Wrist
Get rid of the +12 Int and go with the +15 Spell Damge enchant.
Enchants
Glyph of Power
is only 80g now that you are Exalted so go ahead and get it even though you don't have an epic helm. 80g is what 1 maybe 2 days worth of dailies?

Just quickly off the top of my head, replace all the gems in your FSW set with +9 gems for an additional +15 spell damage. If your farming heroics anyways make sure you do the heroic daily for the extra badges and you can get
Carved Witch Doctor's Stick
. With a +9 gem you got a +27 wand for only 25 badges. Another badge reward is
Battlemaster's Audacity
. It's 75 badges or 30k honor/40 AV marks. It'll be a static +47 (+10 more than Quags Eye) but personally I would stay with Quagmirran's Eye. The 10% chance to get the 320 spell haste is pretty sweet. We spam spells like crazy so it should proc quite often on boss fights. If you have the gold many priests go with
Darkmoon Card: Crusade
. It's pretty easy to get it to the +80 and keep it there on most bosses. There are sometimes "down time" when fighting where you can't cast for whatever reason the buff can wear off and you will be starting all over to get it back up to 80. For those bosses I would go with a static +Spell Damage trinket.
That's about it for now. Good luck getting to +1200...
