It sounds like you are completely terrible. You'll notice the spreadsheet doesn't even have an option to use shadowburn regularly in a rotation because it is laughable and will waste so many shards. I suggest you spec destro, get quartz and practice. Regarded as one of the simplest raid specs, it takes some practice to "master". Knowing when to lifetap is key and will differentiate an excellent warlock from a mediocre one. On trash you don't really want to CoA offtanked mobs because they generally won't have the +shadow debuffs and switching targets will mess with your rhythm, making it a dps loss. In general, you should always be casting something.

A warlock may do well on Brutallus, but struggle on M'uru (think Gothik) because they are unable to quickly change targets, judge omen threat. It just takes practice, and good DPS instincts; you wan't to be very aggressive, but not reckless if you want to top the meters.
