there is nothing, you have the gear and the rotation. Just not the skill.

ilvl232 tier pieces are not worth. You should have save your badges for 245, 232 is inferior to 4pc T8.5

Well with my gear in a raid even i can pull off 5k dps, its all about spell rotation and to pull off 5k u need to use chain lightning :) it works wonders in a raid, + every CD use thunderstorm if u have minor glyph its even better + water shield + mana pots, u should always have above 50% mana even when nukeing but at 20-30% most guilds pop Bloodlust and go flat out, so if so then u should easily kick out 5k dps i have t 8.5 + t9 and i can do it so im sure u can mate!

Flame Shock, Lava burst, Chain, LBx2/3 depending on haste rating, Lava Burst, Chain, Flame Shock. easy rotation but some shammies do
FS, LvB, LB, CL, LB, LB, LvB, CL, FS, for faster rotations. But depending on ur haste the dps can go down a little, also Key Bindings work good alot too.

It's your gear or your rotation, plain and simple. While you have decent gear, it isn't the best; and you may not have yourself optimized for the maximum number of LBs between your LvBs. Run your character through programs like Rawr or visit MaxDPS.com to see where you could potentially tweak your build to help you out. Here, I'll even help you out with that one:

Also, go back to the training dummy and see how many LB/CBs you can squeeze in before LvB comes off of CD. THAT should be your rotation, not a static 2. For some, that can be even 3-4. Also, don't forget to fire off Elemental Mastery on every CD to speed those up even more.

Well, i use the same rotation and granted, my gear is rather repulsive compared to yours, but i can get like between 1000-2200 dps, depending on buffs.
http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Quel%27Thalas&n=Draenara
Not sure if i can help you, but i do the following rotation, this rotation is just for boss encounters only.
1: Flameshock
2: Lava Burst
3: Lightning Bolt
4: Lightning Bolt
5: Lightning Bolt
6: Lava Burst
Rinse and repeat
I know my gear has no enchants or whatever on it, but why put enchants onto them if its just going to get replaced.
Once i get a keeper for a little bit, i will put an enchant on it.

Because you can always get the Enchants that are 2nd best with 5-6 dailies. I don't spend any more than 90G per enchant unless it's in the Top 5 BiS for my spec. That way, even if I'm not doing the BEST DPS, at least I'm not dragging the rest of the group down (and anything below a consistent 2.5K isn't going to get you into a PUG HToC at all honesty).

Telling me I don't have the skill doesn't help. And telling me to get better gear is just stupid, gear doesn't fall from the sky you have to roll against 24 PEOPLE for it.
I don't know a raid comp that would include 25 people rolling for mail spellcaster gear. If you do I'm amazed! Who tanks?
Anyways... do you have enough haste to get you to the 511 mark to get 5 Lightning Bolts in between your LvB CD? If so then there is no way you should not be hitting that 5k mark with the glorious gear you have. If your haste is any where from 300-500 you have time to mix in a CL CD with your Lightning Bolts between the Lavaburst cooldown. I have read though that if you have over 1900 SP (from what I've seen of your gear I'm sure your crushing that 1900 mark) it's not worth the mana to drop a CL on a single target, but 3 or more you're golden.
Just test your rotation on Boss Dummy, make sure your reaching the boss hit cap and you should be doing great.
EDIT: You are over the 511 mark for haste, so you can use 5 Lightning Bolts before your LvB CD is ready. Your hit rating is a little low so if no boomkin or Shadowpriest is in raid your gonna miss on bosses sometimes, not much. The one thing I did notice is your glyphs. No one uses LAVA glyph because that only affects LAVABURST, which only makes up a small portion of your DPS. I would swap this out with the Totem of Wrath Glyph because this affects ALL your spells.
