Heya Cmore
Are you raiding as BM or MM?
Your gear looks very good overall, just a few missing key pieces, namely tier set bonuses.
Both 2 piece tier bonuses are Very Good for DPS. So good you can't go without them. At very high gear levels you'll drop the T9 two-piece, but it will last you a long while, especially as MM. Your mileage may vary, check the DPS Calculator!
Immediate gear upgrades:
- T9 Head, any version (232/245/258) is a big upgrade as it gives you the set bonus along with your T9 legs.
- Replace hit trinket - Darkmoon Card: Greatness, Banner of Victory, Needle Encrusted Scorpion
In the longer term, work toward 2 piece T10 - preferably shoulders and chest

note: added two points to focused aim to support dropping hit trinket. These are wasted if you're not able to replace it; put them in improved steady shot instead.

Just import yourself using the armory import, click Update DPS to see your current estimated DPS. Plug any proposed changes to gear, talents, pet, buffs, target debuffs, shot priority etc., and click Update DPS again and see the effect.

Virix has good suggestions. Pretty much the only thing I can add is that most of the improvements you can make will come from gear that will be dropping in ICC 10/25. You are pretty much the same gear level as I am and in ICC 10 I run at around 7000 dps.
Cooter, if you're still reading this posting I'm curious what spec you raid in before I make any suggestions?
k well tks for the help guys and i am raiding in mm
Cooter,
You're almost 3.5% over-hit-capped, yet you have 2/3 Focused Aim. Those points aren't doing much for you really. I'd stick them into Improved Steady Shot, making it 3/3.
I also suggest changing your wolf's spec to this: http://www.wowhead.com/petcalc#0Md00sc00hooo
Both of those changes should make a noticeable change to your DPS.
