DPS Problems. What am I doing wrong?

I have never tracked my DPS before, but I can tell I'm having some problems.
So right now I'm doing about 450 dps... on a good try. Now like I said I have never tracked my dps before but that just seems to low to be right.
So trying to fix my problem I did research. I looked on Shadowpanther.net to get a good idea of what I should be using.
Maxdps.com says I should be doing 800 with my rotation witch is currently. SS to 5 points Slice and Dice, SS to 5 points Rupture, SS to 5 points, Eviscerate.
Now to what recount is saying and what Maxdps.com is saying I'm doing HALF what I'm supposed to be doing.
Now what a guildy said to me was "Just level to 80 and your dps will skyrocket. Trust me."
I am not doubting him but when I happen to pass a other player leveling they see to drop the mobs so much faster.
So should I be worried or should i just trek-on to level 80?

One problem I can see is with your rotation. Only do 1 point and then pop Slice and Dice. Do 5 points Rupture and then right back to a 1 point Slice and Dice. I don't really ever use Eviscerate unless it's on a trash mob where Rupture won't be able to run it's full effect.
Also make sure you are using your poison's and cool down's correctly, this can be a MAJOR boost to dps if you aren't already using them right.
For Poison's of course just stick with the Instant Poison on the main hand and Deadly Poison on the off-hand.
What I have always found most efficient for bosses is to just open up with Adrenaline Rush and Blade Flurry as soon as the tank has threat. Depending on the fight, you may be able to use it more than once. Killing Spree also adds another CD to pop, I'd say use it as often as possible, though I haven't been able to fully test that out.
Here is my Armory
. I haven't reviewed your spec, but with my gear and spec I've done over 1300 dps in normal level 70-ish instances.
I'm sure I touched on stuff you probably already know, but I hope some of it helps. Do your best to figure it all out and drone out the people who just tell you to hit 80 before you should worry about it. Between 70-80 if you really try to fine tune your skills you should be able to kick some serious ass by time you finish the journey.

Incorrect. With the build he's using, wound poison would be better on the mainhand.

I don't see how Wound Poison would be better in a normal situation. It was always used to help lower the effect of heals in certain fights. I haven't really done much with my Rogue since WotLK came out, so unless something changed, I'd say Instant is still the better main hand poison.
If you do have some solid proof to disprove me, please fill me in. Thanks.
