I just got done SIM'ing my pally, I wanted to play around with it some.
My question is now that I have my results, how do I swap in random pieces of gear or weapons to see how it will affect my results good/or bad?

In the Import tab -> CharDev tab, you can manually list anything you want. Then you can sim with the new gear.
Also if you're using simcraft, it will list what's bis for you. There should be links to wowhead and lootrank on the results tab. Copy the links and paste them into a web browser. Either one will tell you which gear is bis for you.
if you want to do it "manually" on simC (it will always work), you can change the gear you have in the "simulate" tab (after having imported your char). The 2nd last paragraph should look like :
head=sixteenfanged_crown,id=87020,gems=burning_primal_80int_160spi_180int,reforge=spi_mast ery
neck=korvens_ambersealed_beetle,id=86205,reforge=crit_mastery
shoulders=shoulders_of_empyreal_focus,id=87068,gems=160int_60int,enchant=200int_100crit,re forge=haste_mastery
back=mindshard_drape,id=89936,enchant=180int,reforge=crit_haste
chest=firebirds_hauberk,id=85289,gems=160int_160int,enchant=80all,reforge=crit_mastery
wrists=brewmaster_chanis_bracers,id=88883,enchant=180int,reforge=crit_mastery
hands=enameled_grips_of_solemnity,id=89825,enchant=170mastery,reforge=crit_mastery
waist=binders_chain_of_unending_summer,id=87183,gems=160int_320int,reforge=haste_mastery
legs=firebirds_kilt,id=85292,gems=320int_60int,enchant=285int_165spi
feet=sandals_of_the_elder_sage,id=88867,enchant=140mastery,reforge=crit_mastery
finger1=circuit_of_the_frail_soul,id=87040,reforge=crit_mastery
finger2=seal_of_the_prime,id=90858
trinket1=essence_of_terror,id=86388
trinket2=relic_of_yulon,id=79331
main_hand=regails_crackling_dagger,id=90527,gems=160int,enchant=jade_spirit,reforge=crit_s pi
off_hand=eye_of_the_ancient_spirit,id=87039,enchant=165int,reforge=haste_exp
this is where you can change stuff "manually", if you want a new item, just replace name and id (you can get the id of an item by going on wowhead and looking at the url). For the name use the same format : transform space into "_", remove all accents, and everything should be lower cased.
If you want to keep your gear but change reforge, gem or enchant, then just change the "gems=" or "enchant=" fields. Notice that simC don't know the "socket" bonus of item, so you'll have to add them manually (basically if you have a red slot with +60str as bonus and want to put a 160str gem in it, write "gems=160str_60str". Reforge work by saying which stat you want to reforge into what, and finally "ilevel upgrades" can be added by writing "update=1" or "update=2" at the end of the item. For exemple for my weapon which is actually 2 time upgraded ig, I should write :
main_hand=regails_crackling_dagger,id=90527,gems=160int,enchant=jade_spirit,reforge=crit_s pi,upgrade=2
edit : only thing that might go wrong is with trinket with "use" option, as you'll have to change the rotation to tell him when to use it, and in that case using chardev/rawr to import your gear is the best option
