Are you pressing the right things?No, 2 things. The rotation in priority order, top first.
Are you pressing enough?Yes. 38 presses a minute, top Arcane Mages 43: your haste is lower (a 1.03 s global cooldown to their 0.93 s), which is gear, not your hands. 2 pauses of 4 seconds or more, top Arcane Mages about 1.
Do the hits land hard enough?Yes. Your gear is 4 item levels below top Arcane Mages (326 to 330), close enough that it isn't the gap.

The fight

Phase 1 · 0:00–3:36

What happens

Voidswarm opens portals that release a Venomous Hulk, Voidweavers and Bomber Beetles. Adds within 25 yards of Kith'ix take far less damage (Commanding Presence), so they die away from the boss. Extinguish hits the whole raid hard: grab a Light's Embrace orb before it lands. On Heroic, the Hulk and Voidweavers drop eggs (Incubation). Each time Kith'ix reaches 100 energy the raid collapses into Liadrin's light for an intermission.

Phase 2 · 3:36–4:12

Likely cause · ~25kArcane Missiles did about 67% of a typical Arcane Mage's damage here.

You pressed it 7 times; typical Arcane Mages 10. Likely why: Arcane Missiles as often as top players. You pressed it 12.2 times a minute; top Arcane Mages 15.9.

What happens

At 25% health Kith'ix goes into Phase 2 and any adds still alive die. Everyone gets Luminous Grace (50% more damage) and the raid has about a minute: each Eightfold Eclipse hits the raid hard, and the eighth one wipes it. Null Gates spawn under a melee, a ranged and a healer and fire Nullshards that stack Nullify, which kills at five stacks on Heroic. Negation lands on a tank, who swaps and runs into a Null Gate within 8 seconds to close the gates nearby.

Your DPS compared with the raid iDPS over the whole attempt, the way the raid's meter counts it, so it includes any time after you died.
