Fire - Criticism Welcome

[:1]Let me just start off by saying, before you armory me, yes, I will be getting Power Torrent when I can afford the crystals, and have a Volcanic Deck waiting for 5/6th, whenever the Faire is.

Alright so, onto the subject at hand, I'm fairly certain all my gemming/enchanting/reforging is right, and my spec is basically cookie cutter bar 1 point (Dropping 1 point in impact for 1 point in AC, for that little bit of added longevity on some longer fights, personal preference, really).

But I don't feel like my DPS is quite up to where it should be on your average fight.
I've gone full pure int gems in all slots where the socket bonus doesn't meet or exceed the amount of int gained otherwise (Bar my legs, as 60 + 20 hit + 20 crit works out to be more valuable than 80 int, according to Rawr and Simcraft).
I've reforged the lesser stat on every piece of gear that didn't have hit, to hit, it being our number 1 stat after int and all.

And I believe my enchants are right, if possible, enchant for int (I don't currently have the crystals for int to bracers and such), if not, then hit and so on down the priority list.
The only exception to this being my boots, as the slight move speed increase is quite useful, especially on fights like V&T, strafing out of Theralion's fire patches.

I'm sitting on just above the soft haste cap for an additional Combustion tick, coupled with the %5 spell haste buff.

And with all this I only seem to be pulling about... 15k? On average, depending on Hot Streak RNG of course, I can generally peak around 22k if I'm fairly lucky, and I know Fire isn't all about consistency, but 15k just seems a tad low.

Anyway, any advice would be appreciated, and sorry for the odd structuring, I really just typed it all out as it came to mind, so it's kinda jumbled up. :P
i agree i dont do enough dps fix me
I'm not complaining I'm not doing enough. Just asking for criticism.
But thanks for the troll post.
Glanced over it, looks okay.

It's difficult to evaluate performance without logs.

Can't help you unless you post some.
Yeah, I was thinking that, I'll update this post with logs on Wednesday.
Like I said, my DPS is fine, at least for normal modes, just wanna make sure I'm getting the most out of what I've got.
your kit looks fine and it sounds like you're doing what you should be doing for your equipment level. my only criticism is your choice in trinkets but as long as you say you have volcano on standby that should work out eventually.
Alchy Stone + Volcano is a nice combo if you don't have the Bell...

Definitely ditch the mirror.
Yeah the Mirror is just what I had to replace a terrible green trinket.
Volcano is sitting there in my bags taunting me till the faire :P and should have the bell fairly soon.
