You might want to try

for some advice, instead of creating topics like this.

Thror no need to be rude >_>
Lumilla, make sure you're using a proper rotation, that is:
To time your abilties in a correct order to yield the highest amount of dps possible.
Basically for blood you'd be looking at:
Keep your diseases up (use Icy touch and Plague strike)
Spend your blood runes on HS (Heart strike)
If your diseases are up, spend any remaining Unholy/frost runes on DS (Death strike)
If all of your runes are on CD, "dump" your Runic Power by casting Death coil at the target.
A standard rotation for blood is:
IT/PS ==> HSx2 ==> DS ==> Runic dump
Followed by:
HSx4 ==> DS ==> Runic dump
This is a very rough rotation that should change depending on your group composition and/or runic power available (in order to get the maximum damage from the DS glyph)
Reccomended glyphs for 51/2/18 (or 51/0/20 for that matter) are:
Glyph of Dark death (15% increase to your main RP dump)
Glyph of DS (~25% damage increase to your main UF rune ability)
Glyph of Dancing rune weapon (makes your best damage CD just a bit better :))
Your spec looks meh~, I would personally shift 2 points from RPM to Necrosis and 1 from Rav. Dead to max out Necrosis. But I think the main Issue is your rotation is this case (-_o)

Yeah this topic does smell strongly of the negative Dk stereotype that reeks of Pre-3.1 diseaseless spec users...
But despite that, there's nothing such as a silly question if it's asked with pure intentions and instead of being paranoid/pessimistic (or whatever you might call it) of mankind I'd still like to stress the importance of being kind and accepting as a predisposition.
Man reading up for the exams sure has made me wordy lately ;p

Well tbh I've seen numerous cases (that weren't fake, as you may think this is) of similar magnitude as this one, where people honestly only want some help (mainly due to slacking on their part but w/e). Thus I simply assumed that this might be the case.
(And guys, dont feed trolls, k?)

I would say get Glyph of Disease instead of dark death.
#1 Doing a IT > PS > 2x HS > DS > Rune Dump
#2 DS > 4xHS > Rune Dump
#3 Pest >3xHS >DS Rune Dump
#4 2x#2 > #3 > Repeat.
U have 2 in epidemic so 21 sec's disease time should be enough for it.
I bet ur still using BloodStrike in ur rotation..

That's what you get if you ebay imo..
Im doing over 4,5k dps on 25m and got half the gear you got.

Did you make an account just to tell us that? Awesome :)
Btw why is everyone with decent gear but not that decent skill an eBayer? I dont get it...

Because if the people that fail to this degree aren't ebayers, they're stupid on a level approaching intellectual disability. However, society does to a disturbing degree frown upon and censor calling out stupid, therefore it's safer / more convenient to accuse people of being ebayers. In this particular case, the OPs alleged gear lends more credibility to the character being ebayed, but then again, he isn't exactly making himself look intelligent either.

Lots of fancy words for nothing, I still think its lame to call someone an eBayer just because they got carried through naxx by someone. Naxx isnt really hard with an experienced group you know... One person can be slacking and still recieve loot. And how about actually helping when someone wants learn? Or should we all point and laugh and shout "go back to eBay!" and make ourself look even more stupid than the eBayers?

If you allow yourself to be carried through an entire tier of content because you're sitting around waiting for someone to tell you exactly how to play, you are the lame one. There's a multitude of resources available detailing viable specs and playstyles and how to pull them off; the argument that new players don't know where to look is largely moot because what a majority of these people do when helpfully pointed to websites (which I can't see anyone having something against doing) containing this information is skip right past every article and sticky there is, make a new topic and go scream HAPL PLS TEL ME WHAT DO to the world in general. This course of action and the people themselves are at best lazy and usually stupid.
There is a lot of valid discourse value in many simple questions, but this general theme of asking for help is not among those.
If you have trouble with 'fancy words' I suggest you find a dictionary. Like aforementioned stickies and articles they can be a great help, assuming you aren't too lazy to use them.

I use
this
build.
In tank gear Icecrown quest gear, I was out DPSing Naxx-geared Rogues.
Rotations:
Single Pull
IT-PS-SS-BS-BS-UB-SS-BS-BS-DC-SS...
Multi-mob pull
IT-PS-Pest-War Stomp-UB-SS-BS-BS-DC...
Glyph of Scourge Strike means that I don't have to re-stack diseases.
8 times out of 10, I'm top of the charts.
