GC-AS > HW > AS > Cons > HoW for fillers in terms of Dmg. t90 choice can/should be worked in as well, HPr hits like a truck. Since you're still progressing, I'd not recommend ES (I don't really EVER recommend it unless to specifically rank, not just improve).
Glyphing plays a big role too. Minor Glyph - Focused Wrath is a great way to boost your effective DPS (even tho total damage is same). Focused shield #1 for ST fights, Alab for MT/fast hitters.
The biggest thing, really, is vengeance. Seriously. Not solo-tanking means you're never going to pull great numbers. Effecting use/abuse of our plethora of mitigation abilities is the only real way to get "impressive" dps. Solo-tanking last part of Horridon+Jalak, bubbling off the debuff on JinRohk to keep aggro, solo tanking Tortos (or at least cleaving bats), abusing pools and AD'ing a talon rake on JiKun, solo tank Durumu, grab as many adds as you can survive on Animus, solo tank Qon, 95% solo tank Twins, 95% solo tank LS, don't die on RaDen etc.
All of those fights have ways to get us very respectable parses, but they ALL involve "creative" ways to ramp up (and keep up) vengeance.
