Some advice
- If you run with sub-150 hit rating in kara/pre-kara gear, use a fast OH, miss streaks will really kill your dps otherwise. You'll see that if you use a fast OH you'll be able to manage your rage better. Or if you want to keep the slow OH, as you already did, get more hit.
- It's hard to keep up with other dps in Kara, we are quite dependent on getting good buffs. WF makes a huge difference, try to get it. You don't need an enhance shaman to get WF, totems from a resto shaman will work very good as well. The few times that I've topped the meters in Kara have been with a feral tank (+5 crit) and WF.
- Get Weapon mastery, it's way better than Imp. Execute.
- The differences you experienced might be due to the miss streaks, but it's quite hard to compare two different raids since a lot of other things can change (group composition, buffs and pure luck)
Also keep in mind the 2.4 sheet is in development for 2.4 where supposedly your flurry will be more effective. Also from my current limitations of how to work it, the sheet does not take into account the chance of a miss streak -> rage starvation -> need to use rage but dont have, yet. I think I can get it to work eventually time permitting.

Might want to try instead of banking 50 rage, try 75. There may be a few chances where you will hit 100 before you can get a HS off, but it eliminates the chance ofnot having the rage for bt+ww+ramp in succession and also not landing all attacks within those 3 seconds.
