Our Dps opener for dungeons should be something like this:
SW:P > DP > VT > MF til 1 orb > MB > VT > DP
SW:P Has been suggested to be applied first as it gives us long to gain a shadow orb ready for MB.
So you wanna get your dots up asap for maximum ticking time, just like in wrath. As far as i am aware MS doesnt show its face in are dungeon boss/raid rotation other than to kill trash.
As for gemming, i have only just dinged 85 im not 100% sure myself, however im presuming its going to be Int as our main gem of choice. As we know int knows converts into SP and gives us a greater mana pool to work with.
Where's been some debate over which is a better dps choice for us: haste or mastery/crit. Haste has come out slighty better atm, but not by alot. I personally will be reforging as much gear as i can to haste, while still keeping my hit rating.
Hope this helps alittle.

Something i've been personally working on is throwing in MS as part of my rotation but more for burst damage, I usually will wait untill my dots are about to run out, be sure theres 3 stacks of orbs on myself and Evangalism is up, pop Evang, MS, MB, then SW:D and its seems to do fair damage. Just off the MS i've seen its crit for 45k and i'm not even geared for Heroics yet. Plus if the MB that follows crits you get another boost of fair damage. I try and save that for the end of a boss fight for max damage from the SW:D, added bonus if you pop a Volcanic Potion. Now i'm not playing currently with recount (been to lazy to update lol) so I can't say 100% that its a good boost but I have seen it take a boss from about 15% to dead. Just something for you number crunchers to mull over :D

personally i use MS only as a opener to get a good start, 2 MS folowed by VT and MB, with a bit of luck thats a 50k dmg first 5 seconds with replenishment allready up for those healers that havn't figured their mana management out yet.
Then the dots and 2 MF's to get evangalism up then SWD and MB should be off CD from then it's just keeping up dots and MB/SWD on cd fill in the blanks with MF
on some occasion you might have to blow a early fade to let the tank get his thread up, especially if your really lucky and both MS and the MB crit, thats just too insane a start for most tanks handle ^^
still having trouble getting the normal roation smoothly running though, the CD times and dot durations seem to be causing a lot of conflicts atm so i'm losing dps there
as for the haste/crit discussion, imo the extra dmg we get on crits(100% for shadowform + some from procs) make for such huge spikes it offsetts the haste bonus on MF
should note that atm i've just reached 333 ilvl and only doing 7K dps so some more tweaking is required ;)
