    Spec is fine
    Glyphs are fine

    Running a comparison against Niley is not that wise. Niley's gear is quite a bit better than yours and Im assuming you do not have a warlock to boost your dps numbers either.

    Another thing is you are over the hit cap and some of your gems/enchants are wasted because of it - hit rating for raids as a Draenei shaman is 342 for heroics it is 53. You can see a lot of your itemisation is wasted for heroics so someone that optimises for heroics should post bigger numbers

    Last thing your gear and gem choices are not great. In general (warning over simplification here) you should go

    hit (to cap) > spell power > haste >> crit >> everything else

    (Haste is about twice as good as crit until you reach the soft cap where LvB,CL have a 1s cast time)

    Bearing this in mind there are several upgrades available to you from non raid sources.

    you should never gem for crit or spell pen in pve (there are some gimicky fights where spell pen is beneficial but not many - a raider may be better to advise you on this as I do not know the Northrend encounters) and you should (in general) ignore blue sockets unless you need it to activate your meta

    Actually I do run with a Lock. My team makeup is Prot Pally, Shammy, Mage, Lock, Priest. I'm thinking of swapping one for an idle Druid, but I'm not sure if I want to try to handle eclipse procs. Currently running mage as Frostfire, so I'm able to handle the hotstreak procs reasonable well.

    I'll swap out some gems and bring him down closer to the raid hit cap...perhaps I'll mess around and bring him down to the heroic hit cap just to see what kind of numbers I can get in heroics. I use this toon as my main for raiding though so I'd like to bring his raiding numbers up a fair bit. I've messed around with manual rotations for solo play, but I find my numbers actually drop, so obviously I need to work on my manual rotation.

    Thanks again for the advice, I'll definately swap out some gems, and look for some non-raid gear upgrades.

    Get two sets of gear, optimize one set for raiding and the other for heroics.
