My guild just started S&V and I got myself thoroughly embarrassed by one of our Marauders. I was in 156/162 gear and he was in mostly Columni. His parse had him doing ~1800 on Dash'rode but I was only getting ~1300.
At the time I was full lethality and using the rotation and stats suggestions from Noxxic, which I now know was at least 80% of my problem. So after reading the guides here (thanks all BTW) I have changed to the Hybrid spec and started using the rotations listed. I've also started re-jiggering my gear to be more in line with what the SME's here recommend.
To that end, here is how I sit now:

Would someone give me some guidence on if I am moving in the right direction?
Too much crit? Not enough?
Mod/Enhancement suggestions?
Augments?
I'm still working on gearing so I know things like the relics need updating.
I did some testing on the dummy last night night and my stationary DPS was 1800+, my rotation is still choppy though since it's new to me. On General Ortol in Cademimu I was only getting 1300. I know part of that was the tank not holding the boss in one place long enough for my orbital strike to be useful but I think that's probably a truer measure of my DPS since not many fights let you just sit there and play whack-a-boss.
Thanks all
