From your summary
Death Coil before your Runic Power caps. Big gain- Do
- Press Death Coil at 80 Runic Power or more, and use
Epidemic when the Phase 2 adds are out. - Why
- 28% of your Runic Power went to waste. Top Unholy DKs waste about 4%.
- Do
- Death Coil reaches from range, so press it while you move. Watch 2:36 and 3:26 on your video.
- Why
- You spent about 24% of the fight pressing nothing, top Unholy DKs about 8%. Half of that back is about 8% more presses.
Army of the Dead, 
Dark Transformation and your potion went out together on the first 
Venomous Heart.
- 56% of your Phase 3 damage went into eggs and adds, above the raid's 48%.

Death Coil did about 30% of a typical Unholy DK's damage here.You pressed it 18 times; typical Unholy DKs 28. Each one hit about half as hard (31k vs 67k). We haven't found why yet, so there's no fix to give.

Caustic Waves, which come from the side of the wing Ula'tek pulls back and spawn a deadly Viper if they hit an egg carrier. After two cycles, 
Rage of the Shackled exposes the Venomous Heart, which takes 100% more damage for 20 seconds.

How you pressed buttons iYour presses on pull 12 compared to top Unholy DKs on their kills.
Pull 12: 6 things to fix, plus haste and button speed
Why you pressed less
Your global cooldown was 1.02s, top Unholy DKs 0.98s, so haste costs you about 4% of your presses.
9 times you went 4 seconds or more without pressing anything; top Unholy DKs: about 5. At 1:44 (5s), 1:55 (5s), 2:54 (8s), 3:26 (16s), 4:02 (9s), 6:21 (5s). Worth a look on your video: moving, a mechanic, or out of range?
83% of your presses came right as the last one finished (top Unholy DKs 92%). Short pauses add up to 7.3s a minute (2.9s).

Of your spec's top stats, you're lightest on Haste (9% of your secondaries vs 19% for top players), and heaviest on Mastery. Haste speeds up your attacks, Rune regeneration and global cooldown, but it does not make your diseases tick any faster. When two items are close, lean toward Haste, and let a Raidbots sim settle it.

You're lightest on Haste, your spec's third-best stat. The gem also has Crit, your spec's best stat. Crit gives your attacks a chance to deal double damage, and your Mastery makes your diseases and minions crit harder. Gems that are mostly Haste help close that gap.
