The reasons that people found Combat so far behind Assassination was because they used the simpler rotation.
Combat is ~2% ahead on 100-35%
Without using Rupture as Combat, it becomes ~1%
Without using RvS, they're equal.
Combat becomes ~15% worse at 35-0%
~16% without using Rupture.
~17% without using RvS
Combat suffers more from not having Landslide than Assassination, which is a slight dps loss.
These things add up really, and something like Assassination being just ahead at 100-35% and then nearly 18% at 35-0% means that you will gain dps just from respeccing.
This doesn't matter so much now, as 4.0.6 is nearly upon us, with Combat buffs.

Changing spec isn't good advice though. Combat is only percents away from mut. He should be close. There shouldnt be a huge difference. Optimally, its only ~4% lower, and thats becuase of the backstab burst at 35% and lower.
When someone asks for advice on how to improve ones damage, telling them to switch specs is a cop out. Not only does it not make them better, cuz if he was sucking at combat, which is dramticall easier rotations then mut, then he'll prolly mess up mut worse, but its just not good advice. We can't always just change, it doesn't make us better.
See the above? Now he wants to know how to play assassination. Swiching specs isnt a good choice in this instance, and most, especially since he doesn't even know mut.
The best advice is to learn the rogue class, through and through. You can familize yourself with both specs, its good to know each.

Your auto attacks are your normal melee hits. And you arent going to have the hit cap needed to where they wont. Special hit cap is perfect and what you really need. But when you asked for help. You didn't really give a rotation. As playing sub in heroics, i get 10k on boss fights , and i have about the same gear as you do (in terms of item level).
But the question is as it was in your original post, do you want to maximize dps as a rogue, or better dps as combat? If you want to maximize dps then go assassination yes. But i thought you wanted to get better numbers as combat.
You also didnt specify what weapons you were using, enchants you may have on them, and again, your rotation. So while switching to muti may be sound advice on the basic level, they cant give advice based on they dont know WHAT your doing anyways.

i realized i didnt answer the other part of your question. Special attacks are the special abilities you use in fight example: Sinister strike
