My gear is not as impressive as I think it is?
One of my guildies has long-abandoned his DK;

this ones mine
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Stormrage&cn=Creampies
and we now both have nearly equal stats, no thanks to his JC gems D:
However, I am expecting to be able to steadily deal 3.8k - 4k in 5 mans and a little more in 10 mans. But this is not the case. I am usually doing 3k-3.4k in both, and sometimes with a big enough proc burst in raids, like 5k.
I currently use the Rotation
IT/PS > HSx2 > DS > Dump > DS > HSx4 > IT/PS/ (Glyph of Disease) Pestilence > Return to step 2
I am having a hard time believing that the issue does not lie with my own performance.

I would not Glyph pestilence mate. I would use the glyph of Dark Death. With the proccs on you HS and the runic dumps I think it would contribute so much more to your overall DPS. I would also drop the 2 points you have on the frost build for Morbidity. Also, when you have GoD you just need to use pestilence instead of reapplying your diseases, so your rotation is wrong anyway.

Sorry, I meant Glyph of Disease, not Glyph of Pestilence.
So it's a tough choice picking between which glyph to replace with Dark Death since I have Dancing Rune Weapon, Disease, and Death Strike.
Although, I don't particularly think that's going to give my DPS a 400 DPS boost lol.

eh... i never get the chants with crit since the resil chants have the AP anyway. They too pricey for more than 50G
So basically there is nothing completely wrong in your char, maybe the problem is you :P
I'm having a hard time believing this when I'm always being steadily outdpsed by one of our other guild's DKs with significantly lower stats.
So I'm not really sure what that's supposed to mean if I'm doing it right.

I believe that's the point being made.
There's nothing *glaringly* wrong with your spec. i.e, you cant swap a talent point or two around and magically gain 3k dps to whatever it is that you're doing...

So, when those two arent holding your dps back that dramatically it comes down to PEBKAC.

The other DK you said is the one linked in the first post?
no, it's
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Stormrage&cn=Durrza
I've considered that it might be DMC: Greatness at work, but the guy is ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS above me or right with me and even shot 5k in TotC last night for a few moments.
It's kinda hard for me to believe he's running on proc prayers since mine rarely ever put me over 4k. =/

Well, there's not any problem between my keyboard and chair that I'm aware of, lol.

It's you.
Your spec is 51/2/18. The 2 points in RPM in Frost are worthless: they no longer work to extend DRW's duration. Move those points to Unholy in Morbidity. Drop a point from Imp Blood Presence and move that point into Bloodworms.
You are also nowhere near the Expertise cap. Your friend is much closer (probably at 26 with his Orc racial + axe). Blood is a
VERY
tight spec as 51/0/20. If you miss/Dodge/Parry once, you pretty much lose your rotation's consistency and will RP cap out and delay a DS.
His JCing is only helping his DPS: you need to level yours and a secondary profession. I'd suggest Blacksmithing.
He's also enchanted properly (one could argue for or against Crusher to gloves) while you have some lower-level enchants, particularly to your bracers and cloak.
You also need the Sons of Hodir shoulder enchant.
IT/PS > HSx2 > DS > Dump > DS > HSx4 > IT/PS/ (Glyph of Disease) Pestilence > Return to step 2
Your rotation is incorrect.
IT PS DS HS HS DC DC RD (if possible)
DS HS HS HS HS DC HoW
Glyph of Disease would increase your DPS but you have to learn how to use it.
