That beeing the rotation I use for single target dps, for a pack of 3 or more mobs (3 in a raid and 5 in a hc) I use the following for AOE DPS:

Icy Touch, Plague Strike, Pestilence, Blood Boil, Death Strike, Death Coil, (Death Coil), Death Strike, Blood Boil, Blood Boil, Blood Boil, Blood Boil, (Death Coil x2 or DRW)

Repeat as needed untill you need to switch back to the single target rotation as quoted above.

Also I will say that HC's now are more about burst damage rather than a true representation of your actual DPS as the mobs and bosses seldom live long enough for us to compleate a rotation. You will find that your DPS will look better in a raid for instance as we do low damage attacks in high frequancy, we start at the bottom of the dps meter and work up, over time, were as other classes will start high and fall due to there attacks beeing high damage but with longer time bettween attacks.
A good example of this is a druid friend of mine (Boomkin) can do 17K crits in ICC 10, were as I have never seen my crits get higher than 9K but I am still doing 1K more dps than him at the end of the fight.

In short I wouldn't worry to much about what other guys say you "should" be doing on the DPS chart. at the end of the day its only a hc, who cares right lol.

Hope that helps!
