Here's some other stuff to consider once you get your gear sorted.
I use Lifestrike every time it's up to get the debuff stacked. I also tend to use the red buff, I forget the name, gives you spell penetration and protection vs elemental magic. Debuffs + spell pen makes dots hit harder. Granted it's not tons harder, but every little bit counts.
The other thing to consider is your teammates and your targets. If you are targeting people who have alot of protection, you're less effective. And if your team isn't debuffing targets, then you'll hit for less. Remember DT's and Sins debuff for you and Demos debuff your Icestrike and Chill. I think POMs debuff is for unholy too, so there's alot of variables.
