Ninja PvE DPS question? I'm a noob scrub.
So I've not really played much, I have a Ninja with some gear and I'm trying to figure out how to get my DPS up and what DPS at I should be currently. I'll list what stats I think are rerollable, but if I leave anything off just ask and I'll try to reply with the info 
Again, I'm still new, don't quite know what I'm doing.
My gear is:
+15 Starfall Weapon (Decrease cooldowns by 7.2% x2, Dmg increase 6%, Dmg increase 6.9% behind, Dmg increase 9.3% enraged monsters, Keen etching +18 crit)
+15 Starfall Robe (Double Cut dmg increase 12%, HP increase 8%, Decrease frontal dmg 6.9%, Decrease dmg 6%, Decrease enraged dmg 10%, Grounded etching +8 endurance)
+15 Starfall Sleeves (Increase crit by 9, Increase attack speed 2.25%, Increase power by 5, Keen etching +18 crit)
+12 Slaughter Boots (Increase movement speed 6%, Increase endurance by 4, Replenish 2% mp every 5 seconds)
Slaughter belt, not very good (Power x7, Endurance x7, Crit resist x5, Crit x4)
Edgy Idoneal Innerwear, not very good (Crit x4)
Simple Empowered Brooch, not very good (Power x2, Crit resist x3, Power x3)
Jewelry:
Shademaze Earring (Increase max HP 4%, Recover .12% HP every 5 seconds)
Shademaze Earring (Crit resist x6, Increase max HP 4%)
Shademaze Necklace (Crit x1)
Bloodmaze Ring (Crit x1, Crit x4)
Bloodmaze Ring (Crit x4, Crit x2)
Crystals:
x4 Keen Vyrsks
x4 Hardy Niveots
x1 Focused Niveot
x1 Bitter Niveot
x1 Savage Niveot
x1 Carving Niveot OR x1 Pounding Niveot (Still playing to see if 8.1% vs 3.2% crit chance is better)
There was probably a better way to list all of that but I don't know it sadly. Anyhow, I ran a dungeon earlier and someone used the hack/cheat where they can see the total damage, and I only dealt 11% -- I actually lost to a +12 or worse ninja, they had ~28%, which is why I decided to change my gear. Before I was using PvP crystals which was dumb but I didn't consider it, since then I've been testing my DPS on Frostclaw Hyenas to see what I do. Before it seemed that I did ~150k crit tops with regular attack and ~350k crit tops with Decoy. Now I can do ~980k tops with Decoy and ~200k tops with regular attack (Please note I'm only using the first strike, with the last hit of the combo I've done ~930k I think). So I've made progress but switching from my previous jewelry I lost 53 Crit and gained like 8k damage (In the stats panel) so I'm not sure if that was worth it. Maybe I should get rid of the Bloodmaze and get Shade rings? I only went Blood because one of the stronger people in my guild recommended it.
As for rotations and glyphs I was very nooby there too, found this guide for KTera but it seemed to be mostly accurate for this one so I've started trying to use those but I really can't tell what my DPS is supposed to be, though I'm pretty sure it's not nearly as good as it needs to be for my gear/level. For example, the stronger person is also in +15 starfall but deals 1.1m damage to the Hyenas regularly as a gunner, I think.
Well, I guess that's all the details I really have to give. If anyone can enlighten me on what I should be doing or what I'm doing extremely wrong (which I'm sure I am) I'd be much appreciative. Hoping I can get to where I can deal decent DPS.

Once you do that, you should be using Forceful instead of either Carving or Pounding.
Loriri's and Yurai's guides are both good for NA.
Amount per hit doesn't matter.
You should be improving your rotation as your #1 priority after fixing your gear.
Also, use a better inner wear like crit 16 or crit 20.
And do check your glyphs, the recoomended button's glyphs are not all correct to maximize damage.
Get rid of simple emopwered brooch, get a Quickcarve or Quatrefoil brooch instead.
Your aim is to have crit factor some where around 220 - 250. Especially for certain boss burn phases...
I fixed my weapon, now the top line is enrage damage. I've been practicing my rotations since before I posted this too, and my DPS has definitely improved, but I'm kinda clumsy with it still so once I polish it up I should be far better.
I am going to get a better brooch, probably a quickcarve since quatrefoil is super expensive.
I'm also going to get better innerwear but I'm a bit poor right now xD
I think my glyphs are set up better now, but again I haven't really gotten to run it. I know I'm missing a few master glyphs I need so I'm going to run Sabex and Cata to hopefully get some. (That's how you get them right?)
There are two main ways of getting glyphs. Read this: http://www.essentialmana.com/rare-master-glyphs/
