Bump the points out of Improved Vampiric Embrace, move them to meditation or Improved Spirit Tap. (Meditation preferred) Voila, you're golden. (Though your mana regeneration is still incredibly low.) You have too much hit rating stuff. Dump it ASAP.

for low level raids, hit rating isnt needed. However, for trash mobs, dont use a rotation, especially in VH. Use mind seer (i think you have it at 75)
Only use your full rotation on a boss fight. if its a single trash mob, just leave SW:P all together

Well.. you could start by not popping Shadowfiend and dispersion at the same time. I usually only go Shadow for PvP so naturally it will be different, but my main spec is Holy, so when I'm healing and I go OOM on a long fight, I first drink my pot. That will usually last a bit since I am an Alchemist and I almost always have my stone equipped especially when I know it's a long fight. Then I pop my shadowfiend which if I do it right, can get me up to 3/4 almost full mana.
Also make sure you have the Dispersion Glyph. They reduced the cool down with the last patch, so with the glyph I believe my CD for Dispersion is at 45 secs.
Also remember that your rotation is only as effective as your ability to interchange spells to suit new scenarios... meaning on trash mobs, if you notice one particular type of mob goes down way faster than the others, you probably don't need to DoT it up and go all out.
If I am in Wintergrasp helping a group of my friends kill one horde, and I see he's probably going to be dead in like 3-5 seconds, there isn't much sense in DoT'ing him since he's about to die. To me it's a waste of mana.

^ this.
Seriously, 50% of your mana regen happening even while casting? How do you figure this won't "make the sea change?"
At the moment, if you have no MP5 gear, you'll have 0 mana regen while casting. Imagine if 50% of what you regain outside of the 5SR happened even while burning everything you have?
It adds up, trust us.
Also, what karlusdavius and Sully said. SPriests aren't going to be amazing during trash pulls because you won't have time to let your DoTs run their course, if you even cast them in the first place. Use what nukes you have in place of wasting all your mana on DoTing every single mob.
