Feral DPS sucks on bosses

First here is my armory:
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Silver+Hand&cn=Bronal
In heroics I have no problem being on top of damage charts dps/damage.
However I seem to drop badly on raid bosses. I know it is probably my rotation.
What I have been doing is feral charge/Shred/mangle until 3 CP's then Savage roar, followed by Mangle-shred until 5 more points then Rake. Then sort of repeat of the above - if I have extra energy and combo points then I will use Ferocious Bite if everything else is still running. Raid bosses in TOC for example I am averaging 4k dps but my damage output is not the best. So obviously my burst damage is good but the bleed effects are not being used properly?
Ideas?

He probably just misnamed some of the abilities he uses. He definetly does not use
ravage
to build up CPs for
rake
. Seems like a hueg rotation problem anyway.
Also, dude, how in the holy hell did Pounce get there. Not only 372% of the games bosses are immune to Stun, you should not even open bosses from stealth. That single Ravage at the beginning of a fight is hardly going to give you a dps advantage.

Whoa sorry about that - I suppose more coffee was needed. I corrected the rotation.
So lets start from the beginning:
Boss fight starts:
Feral Charge
Rake
Mangle
Shred?
Savage roar (or best to do this after 3 combo points?)
Then repeat to 5 combo points to allow Rip.
I will need to pay better attention to the cool downs I guess to see when they drop off. Is there an add-on so I can learn this better -(I normally do not run DPS add-ons ) and I find it challenging learning the rotations on the feral. Few buttons but can be very complex also.
Again apologies for the wrong terms used.:(

This just screams at me in so many different ways...... >.< be nice be nice be nice be nice
Work on the basics.
1) keep mangle up if you are mangle bot. Get an addon like bad kitty to track it since you may have an arms warrior in the raid.
2) don't clip bleeds(Rake and Rip). Refresh them
after
the last tick
3) 5cp SR and 5cp Rip should remain up 99% of the time, that 1% for the split second after your bleed ticks it's last tick for you to refresh it.
4) Use energy on shred if all other debuffs are up and nothing but shred.
Get used to this. Once you have a better understanding of this rotation and are comfortable with it, then think about incorporating FB into your rotation.
Gear wise, you are over hit cap, and should probably get NES and gem for armor pen. Do this AFTER you get used to the style of dps and are starting to use FB more often. Dropping the agility for armor pen will lower your crit, making your combo point generating a bit tougher meaning the rotation will in turn get tougher.
Do your job right please, and don't give us a bad name...
