sup. At the moment we're full on locks for our main raid. You're certainly more than welcome to continue coming to our pug runs tho, and perhaps a spot will open up : ) Since you bothered to fill out the app tho.. I figure I'll throw some pointers ur way 
Affliction will get you higher dps, hands down. The rotation might seem daunting at first, (and rightfully so.. most complex rotation for any class / spec
), but you get used to it after awhile. If you need any help with it, feel free to pst me (my lock's name is Vag)
As for your gear, you are waaaay over how much hit u need. unbuffed hitcap is 17%, you're at 17.5%. Even then, keep in mind raid buffs give you 4% hit (in 25 mans anyway, u might have to sub out gear for 10 mans depending on who's there), and you can spec into 3% hit. That means you only need 10% hit from gear. I would highly suggest replacing gear w/ hit on it for spirit / haste / sp itemized gear (generally pieces that are void of crit or hit have spirit / haste).
As for gemming, : / armory went down for maintenance in the middle of this post. I know I saw a 16 hit gem in there at least.. liek I said, you're over hitcap.. replace hit gems A general rule of thumb is, socket everything with 19 sp. Obviously fill out meta req.'s
Do all that and your 4700 dps pw should jump up to 5k+ : )
