My main is a mage and I have been trying to get her dps up. Here is the armory link.
http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/area-52/dywana/advancedI have been trying to work it out. I have read almost all there is to read, and still my dps is under 10k on some encounters. Sometimes it's great and I can do well over 10k, other times it's just pitiful. I am following the (fire) rotation everyone seems to agree upon, but still I am lacking severely in some cases and I just don't know why.
Also, I understand that some of my enchants could be better, and one shouldn't even be there (precision on boots). But alas, I am broke at the moment. But if anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated!

Well, for one thing, mastery is our weakest stat, and you've gemmed/socketed/geared for it. "ish"
But the replacement pieces require more than a bit of luck, since they're drops as opposed to the vendor purchases you opted for.
Also, the Gale of Shadows trinket has proven itself to be actually not that great, the Equip effect taking too long to stack up. Try
this instead. And remember that fire is heavily RNG, so you can have nasty swings in DPS.
Also, fire mages currently opt for full Impact (which is nice for packs), and cauterize (while it looks like a nasty kickback, it has saved me quite a few times, you just might need to be ready on the iceblock if you're healers are distracted.
Oh, and I'd suggest exchanging the Glyph of Invisibility for Polymorph. Really helps with keeping a sheep a sheep.
And CombustionHelper addon. It's unimaginably helpful.
