It sounds like you are running with a pretty experienced group.
in my experience running heroics, if the tank and healer are in naxx or better gear then the DPS ran slack on their dmg output, which is essentially what you will be doing.
No offense to your spec, but you create a spec to handle the easy parts of an instance (trash) and neglect talents/glyphs that will give you higher sustained DPS for the harder parts (bosses) which seems a little backwards.
With a group that is still gearing up in heroics I would suggest speccing cookie cutter mutilate so you won't be a burden on your group during boss fights. Rogues are designed to do high amounts of sustained dmg that is what the cookie cutter does.
Some fights that require some high sustained DPS imho are:
The snake guy in gundrak
Loken HoL
1st boss of AN
The Sacrafice Boss in OK
The Vampire Boss in OK
The Spider Boss in OK
Its not like the DPS requirement is high for these fights, I think I required people to hold 1.5k on bosses when I was gearing up in heroics.
But if you are running with a geared group it doesn't really matter. You could spec 0/0/0 and they will carry your ass through whatever.
Also link an armory with ur PvE gear on. Are you using a fast dagger in your OH with DP on it, are you using SnD in your rotation? I really can't imagine you having trouble getting DP up after your first envenom, its nearly a 100% chance to apply after the envenom buff. And I wouldn't worry about getting all 5 stacks up, just pop off envenoms until your rupture/HfB needs to be refreshed. I hit a 7k 1dp stack envenom with 4 cps last night on gluth, and I've read b4 on EJs that envenom does dmg based on CPs not how many stacks you have up. I know the tooltip reads differently, if anyone has other sources on that ability I would be interested in seeing it.

I would say spec for mutilate raid cookie cutter and get 2 high output weps like 2.7 and put IP on both and spam FOK if you are using FOK so much. This way when it comes time to fight a boss you will still have the max output dps for him and burn him faster. The trash should be falling in seconds for you most likely so no need to do much but spam FOK.

Things get better with envenom once you hit 80 and get some decent gear.
Don't worry too much about specs and such while leveling. If you can kick out above 400dps at your level you will be fine in most dungeons. Just keep up rupture and SnD and you will be good.
once you hit 80 min/maxing your DPS will be a bit more important.
