Hay to everyone who decides to read and perhaps even halp me. I tried shadowpriest.com, but I haven't gotten any reply yet. I would like to get some help with my gear and my DPS.
Armory:
http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Vek%27nilash&n=Dottymcblast
Spellrotation:
DP, VT, MB, MF, SWP, SWD (to get the cooldown off MB), MB, MF, MF and then I just try to keep the DoTs up and keep MB off cooldown. With this, I do about 2.6k selfbuffed.

Dummies aren't the best way to see your dps within a raid(many buffs in a raid) and 2.6k DPS isn't that terrible. Information as what raids you are aiming for, which bosses you fight and what kind of DPS you do on that boss can offer us more information to help you.
Also you lack shoulder and feet enchants. Chest and Bracer enchants are upgradeable. ;P

SW: P isn't listed in your rotation.
Opening rotation should be VT, DP, MF, SW: P, MB, etc. (Mind Flay gives one stack of Shadow Weaving per tick)
Sorry, let me correct that.

At a raid, I seem to have a very big variation of DPS for some reason. Sometimes it's 2.2k, sometimes it reaches 3.8k.
I haven't gotten around getting revered/exalted with Hodir yet and I don't seem to understand why two more spellpower on bracers could possibly change my DPS. Is there another enchant like +10 stats, but better? I didn't know there was one, perhaps you mean the +250 mana one.

Thats why the boss is important too. The difference between Ignis (where you stand mostly stil) and Razorscale (adds, running a lot) can be a lot. Boss adds a lot of factors and there is no real number for DPS to aim at. The easiest boss at the start for high numbers would be Ignis, unless you are a add killer you mostly stand still and nuke.
I haven't gotten around getting revered/exalted with Hodir yet and I don't seem to understand why two more spellpower on bracers could possibly change my DPS. Wait what, should I get a BETTER enchant than +10 stats? I didn't know there existed a better one, perhaps you mean the +250 mana one.
Owh no my bad ^^ I meant weapon and bracer, I wonder why there is "chest" where "weapon" should be!
And there are those semi cheap pvp enchants and something looks better then nothing. ;P
It's just that the "best enchants" and "enchanted items" show a certain level of professionalism. You show that you willing to spend a extra money to get a minor boost. You show that you are dictated towards your guild. You reward the guilds hard work for that epic with a bit of extra work of your own.
And it may not be that great, but you can say that about a lot of upgrades/enchants/gems are small and then we end with everything is a small upgrade so nothing is worth it.
Also look at the overall picture. If everyone in the raid went from 23 spell power to 30 spell power it's like 70-140 spell power in 25 man raid. And then wonder how many 1% wipes there could have prevented if those slackers just enchanted a bit more.
Man I talk way to much about one enchant upgrade.

Get a helm with a meta socket.
That's all I've got to add.
Also, Haunting Call is not something you want to put a 63 spellpower enchant on. It's an all right weapon, but there are better ones. Hammer of the Astral Plane or Torch of Holy Fire should get that privilege; not something with Spirit on it.
I've been thinking of this, I have
Gothik's Cowl
in my bank, is it better than
Faerlina's Madness
?

Gothik's with Chaotic Skyflare Diamond and Scarlet ruby is wasy better then Faerlina's. Just make sure you get your hit rating back to 289 or better. Icewalker on your boots will give you 12 more, but you will still be a bit short. Running Naxx for Dying Curse would solve this.

SW: D does less DPS than Mind Flay.
As much as this is true, SW:D has it's uses on mobile fights such as Heigan, but Mind Flay does better DPS in general.

SW: D does less DPS than Mind Flay.
Yes indeed, but I only use it when I have less than one second left on MB cooldown, otherwise MF.

If your asking about gear it should be prioritized as follows:
Hit (till capped)
Crit
Int
Spr
Haste
No, no, no, no.
Spell power is one for one the best DPS increase we have. If you look at Shadowpriest.com, you would see that gear should be stacked like this:
Hit (unitl capped)
Spell Power
Crit and Haste(equal)
Spirit
Int.
My personal opinion is that once you can get 2 MF between a MB, additional haste is not worth it, although I have no math to back this up. Stack crit afterwards instead.

Yeah. I was mainly responding to Mynnas's post there. Sorry for not specifying
I knew that as well, I just added additional information.
