Right now my rogue with 5500gs (
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Firetree&cn=Serprize Hopefully im in my Combat gear and not PVP stuff) is doing around 9-10k on 10m saurfang.
i see all your gems are AP. I'm certainly not an expert on rogues but some people on my server have told me to go for straight up Armor Pen. Gem everything for armor pen. armor pen with a Sinister Strike and Evis combo stack very very well. im seeing well over 17-20k evis crits.
Get the NES from Heroic FoS to replace Mark Of Sup and gem up to around 55% armor pen. If you have the gear (yur pretty well geared) and you are able to gem well past 55% then forget the NES trinket and go for something better. DBW or Whispering Fanged Skull from 10 lady Deathwhisper are fantastic trinkets.
Use Tricks of the trade ON EVERY CD! use it every chance you get. the extra energy from the t10 2 piece is FREE ENERGY, plus you're helping the tank do a little extra damage and giving him a nice threat boost. Here is a macro that will auto cast TotT on your focused target. You can have the boss targeted and click that macro, while you have the Tank focused and not have to worry about anything.

/cast Tricks of the Trade
My rotation is Open with Garrote, then 1 Sinister strike < SnD < Killing Spree < Blade flurry + Adren Rush + engineers haste gloves thingy < SS till 5 combo points < Evis < SS till 4-5 combo points then SnD < SS till 5combo points < Evis.
That might have run on a little long but the basics of it is ALWAYS have SnD up, Evis at 5 Combo points.
As i said, im certainly not a rogue expert but this is what i've been doing/trying to do and its been working fantastic so far. im topping a lot of charts. but if there is anything wrong with what im currently doing, i more then welcome advise too.
OH! btw, this is something that helped me out a ton too. Since Killing Spreed costs no Energy and you regen energy while using it, it good to use it in a low energy situation. you never wanna combine Adren Rush with killing spree. it will cap out your energy and basicly be wasted energy. but combining Adren rush with any haste sort of buffs is fantastic dps. unlimited energy plus fast hits = WIN!
hope that helps, sorry if theres some spelling mistakes in there.
*EDIT* You said you were throwing in a rupture if you had the energy, i've been told that those combo points are best used to throw down another Evis or Refresh SnD. rupture just isnt worth it anymore for combat

The above post would have been okay if he didnt mention the rupture thingie in the end.
Rupture is once more a valuable asset of rogues.
