Ok, I'm a level 80 Fire Mage and was wondering if there were some tips anyone could give me to increase my DPS. Usually I do between 1500 and 2000. However I feel like I should be doing better. This is my first toon and I leveled her doing the refer-a-friend thing which made it near impossible to really learn my spells.

I use this for my rotation:
Scorch twice ( I have the scorch glyph )
Living Bomb
Fireblast
Frostfire Bolt
Fire Bolt
Then I pretty much spam Fire bolt until the Scorch debuff needs renewed or I need to redo Living Bomb. Of course whenever there's a Hot Streak I use that as well.
On bosses I will use my trinket, Mirror Image and Icy Veins before starting this rotation. I'm sure I will be getting gear upgrades as we've been in Naxx a few times, but as far as rotation and really knowing my spells....I could use a little advice :)
Read the first post that I have listed. That will answer you why your dps is so low.
Beyond the first post here is what I immediately noticed:
1) There is 0 reason to be using fireballs.
2) No reason to use fireblast unless you are moving
3) You skipped 2 points in burnout
4) You added points in imp fireball and imp frostbolt - no reason, as you should be using frostfire bolt
5) Don't use straight yellow gems, they are a dps downgrade, even though you need to work on your crit
6) Your second trinket is terrible, absolutely terrible.
7) Skipped a point in elemental precision
8) Didn't take piercing ice
9) Took molten shields
10) Maxed out imp blizzard?
11) Skipped points in ice floes
