1° Have iFF on the boss
2° Put up dots (IS and then MF)
3° Spam wrath until Eclipse procs. Refresh dots if they fall while spamming wrath (should be rare but can happen)
4° Switch to SF for the duration of Eclipse proc
5° Refresh IS at the end of the Eclipse proc (when the last SF cast will land after the proc expires)
6° Spam SF during the Eclipse internal cooldown
7° Start at 2° again once there are only 3-4s left on Eclipse iCD
That's called the Lunar rotation. There's also the solar one (where you basically use SF to proc Eclipse and then spam wrath), somewhat better at low levels of gear (specifically, under 400 haste rating with all raid buffs).
That being said, armory and/or wws would be the best way to get the best answers on what the problem with your friend is. He could have geared wrong, have a template with some mistakes (even with a "pro" advising him, though this parameter probably won't explain a 1k5-2k dps difference between what he does and should do), not spam spells fast enough (wether clicker or just slow, or maybe the measurement method is at fault, ...
Basically, we need more info to really be able to help you.
Also, while i already answered, this was all in the FAQ already :/

The SF is used for it's mana efficiency over Wrath as a filler in addition to it actually doing more over damage once you start clipping the GCD with Wrath. I believe even the solar eclipse uses SF as a filler.
Make sure he is hitting the 17% needed amount of hit after all buffs are accounted for.
Get him a cast bar mod (Quartz for example) and show him how to precast spells. This will help tremendously with latency related issues and actually cause a fairly hefty increase to dps if you do not allready use it.
That aside it is also worthwhile to purchase a computer that can play wow at a minimum of 30 FPS in raiding conditions to improve reaction time and awareness.
