It might be all about how you are geared, you may feel it is correct but it is not. (Armory link please?)

Rotation generally is as you said, i do a little differently, going 1-2 point SnD to open and get it going, then work up 5 points to get a full SnD, and then work into the 5point evisc, maintain SnD etc. (Also, i spent a spectacular amount of time as top dps in the top ally guild on my server, so i feel my words arent bullshit, haha)

The reason that other rogue with lower gear is beating you? I would say Min/Max.

I came back from a long break (5 months), and had much worse gear than everyone else around me, yet was beating them by nearly 2-4k dps. (I was at 4.8k gs, they were around 5.5+). I laughed at it, with the whole concept that Skill > Gear, etc etc, but i also realize that Min/Maxing will make the difference.

-Popping a haste pot before entering combat to ensure you get to use it again later in the fight
-Making sure, at all costs, SnD NEVER, EVER, FALLS OFF
-Using Tricks EVERY cooldown as soon as it comes available.
-Using Killing Spree EVERY cooldown starting each fight with Tricks + Killing Spree.
-Using BF and AR every single cooldown available (generally its hard to get more than 1 AR per fight.
-If you KNOW when heroism/BL is going to come up, use BF/Haste pot WITH Hero/BL. If hero/BL is coming late in the fight (30% ish), you can use BF early in the fight to get multiple uses.

Things such as this make the difference. Along with gemming each spot to ensure MAXIMUM dps. People think its trivial, but if you truly care about being top dps, you will always do this.
