Pushing arcane DPS

RAWR is showing that i should be able to push damn near 6k DPS, right now, im able to push over 5k, but not near enough to that 6k mark for me to be happy. Granted that's optimal and on certain fights, there isn't a chance in hell for me to stand still long enough to make that happen. My rotation is usually 3blast1barrage (MB if up), and i swap to 2n1 when mana gets low and and getting ready to evo (if i wasnt burning). No major problems there right? I do get a bit low on mana, so with using molten armor, im going to wind up using 2n1 more so than i was when i was toying with mage armor (and had about 650mp5).
i do have my nuke macro set up, to use engi haste (glove), mana gem (still have 2pieceFF bonus), IV and AP. Big things i haven't been able to figure for certain is when to blow stuff as far as cooldowns are concerned. haste comes up first, then AP, then gem then IV. So generally i start off with a full nuke. Next hit is once AP comes up (haste with AP), then its generally once all are back up, or if we are close to a kill, just use what i get the moment it comes up. Any thoughts, comments, or concerns about this? Am i messing something up hard on this or does that sound fairly right on.
Anything else you could add would be greatly appreciated.
Also, i know im way over hit cap, im just trying to find places to dump hit, and waiting for drops to finally drop. (i get 1% racial and boomkin/SP 3%)

an armory would be very helpful. but if you're pulling 5k on bosses, that's nothing to sneeze at..
from what i can tell, you basically listed all the problems with what rawr will tell you on paper. It takes into account the perfect situation. It doesn't take into effect that you might have to blow a mana gem a bit earlier, or that you might have to drop to 2abl's instead of 3. It doesn't take into effect that your MB doesn't always proc when it seems like it should. It doesn't take into account that you may have to move to get away from a void zone or you got feared or you're getting out of a biting cold debuff or you get flame jetted and have to stop casting.... see what i mean?
what rawr says you should pull would be best determined and most closely achieved on a 25m patchwerk. a stand a nuke fight is not gonna have any of those casual surprise moves/interrupts that i mentioned, and even then it won't always come out right. If your mbar procs more often than seemingly usual, you'll use more mana. if you're raid comp isnt 100% optimal, you might be missing a buff that means a lot of damage. (I know i've been crying since we don't have a boomkin very often. =\)

RAWR simulates raiding training dolls. I consider doing 80% of the theoretical maximum a good level.
