dps =/= dpct
First of all, you shouldn't be dotting trash. Just wind up the heavy artillery. Especially if you're to the point of farming a raid.
Secondly, most damage meters are a bit funky (and that's the polite version) in how they deal with dots. You will tend to have lower dps but higher overall damage done in a heavy dot build than you will a nuking build according to the readouts. Don't worry about it.
The only thing to avoid in Immolate is the cycle UA / Corruption / Immolate, as it will lead to having multiple dots ending at the same time and lost damage ticks.

You already playing like one because a affliction lock uses his dots for his dmg and will do good dps on trash because he dots multiple targets but on the boss his dps is not ass great because he can't do 5k crits :).
this seems backwards to me, i've always done more boss dmg than trash dmg as affliction. affliction absolutely shines in boss battles.
@OP as said before just don't dot trash (or just throw corruption if they'll live long enough) and bolt away.
