Hello everyone!
Long-time mage forum lurker, but posting for the first time. It feels pretty embarrassing, but I seem to need some help or advice concerning my DPS and was hoping that you could take a look at my logs and armoury and maybe point out what I'm doing wrong.
So, at the start of Legion I swapped over to mage, a class I'd been playing on and off as an alt since Cataclysm, but never mained. Recently, as my guild finished Mythic Emerald Nightmare, I've noticed that although my item level had been going up gradually, I've started parsing worse and worse on fights, most of the time sitting somewhere in the green or blue percentiles, rarely seeing purple. It's been nagging at me for a while now, since I am not sure what exactly it is that I'm doing wrong, so I decided to make a post here asking for your help. I've been reading each and every guide for fire mages that I can find out there, checked the forums here, checked Altered Time, read Lexichu's guide, checked some videos on YouTube, compared logs to other mages of similar ilvl. Obviously I make mistakes here and there, but I'm trying to do my best, and it just doesn't seem to be working.
Below are my most recent logs from our Mythic run, as well as my armoury link. At the time, I was at 34 Artifact traits. The relics I'm using currently are 875 Everburning Consumption, 880 Everburning Consumption, and 860 Great Balls of Fire, since those are the best ones I've gotten so far to drop (Nelthation's Lair m+ doesn't love me in that regard and hasn't given me the Pyroblast relic even once :|). Sitting at 62% crit after food buff, 16% haste, 10% mastery, and 5% versatility. I guess my mastery could be higher and I've been trying to go for items with crit/mastery on them, but most of the items I see floating around that have crit on them come with haste. The only legendaries RNGesus has given me so far are Belo'vir's Final Stand and Koralon's Burning Touch - so not too great at the moment. (Speaking of which, despite the legendary, I'm still not using Scorch sub-25%, because people say it's a DPS loss compared to Fireball, plus doesn't lower the CD of Combustion through Kindling.)

I'm working on getting the Aran trinket at the moment, since everyone seems to be using it. I would appreciate if you guys could take a look at me and tell me if there is something obvious that I'm doing wrong that I'm not seeing. Is it something I'm doing badly rotation-wise (if we can call it that) or is it a matter of a few small things put together, or both (or something else entirely)? Thank you very much in advance for any help you can provide!
