On my ele shammie, whos atm with a mix of conquest, tier 8.5 gear, the onyxia 25 helm and toc25 shield, I joined my guildmates on doing a OS10 - 3 Drakes achievement.
Now before I go on I have to say, I never had recount before. Yeah its noobish to say the least I never even considered having this, but usually I just waited out to see someone else link recount in raids.
So, after several wipe attempts at it, when someone did a recount, I was kinda shocked to see my dps was just so low, like 2.5k on the boss, well everyone else was 3.5k-5k.
I couldn't understand how it could have been so bad, and playing on me for best part of the night, I decided to finally download Recount. After testing out my rotation on the boss dummy in org.. my dps came up to 3.4k.
I wasn't sure what happened in os10, but I knew somehow I couldn't be that low on my rotation. I didn't even have buffs on the training dummy well having loads in OS :(
Anyway, I basicly just wanted to ask if shammies here sometimes have it they arn't doing the kinda of dps in practice that should be doing in raids.

the dps on target dummies can be somewhat misleading since you are dpsing in a perfect scenario were little to no movement is involved and the boss is stationary (think patchwerk). now when you go into a raid such as 3d os then you need to take into account movement and lag as that can lower our dps greatly. also messing up your rotation can affect it as well.

it's because with target dummies they practically have no armour no special abilities for anything so it's hard to say that say u got 4k dps on the target dummy on bosses u wont get 4k u maybe get around 3.5k

You've got no raidbuffs when you're on a dummy either... Ele doesn't get such a boost in DPS from raidbuffs where as other specs get far more.

Our guild raid in general finds DPS to be far lower in ToC10 comparing to Ulduar, Naxx, heroics, etc. Each one of us are down a good 20-25% on our norm in there. We can't explain it.
But I digress, since you're comparing yourself to the people
in
your raid.
Basically I can only say a combination of what others have previously stated: On a test dummy you're standing stationary, and can cast uninterrupted. The lack of raid buffs means little to us, since we hardly benefit at all from them.
If you're lower than you expect (compared to, say, other elemental shamans you've seen in similar gear), you may need to investigate things like your itemisation/gearing choices, enchants, gems and rotation.
