Are you pressing enough?Yes. 39 presses a minute, top Shadow Priests 49: your haste is lower (a 1.15 s global cooldown to their 1.04 s), which is gear, not your hands. 3 pauses of 4 seconds or more, top Shadow Priests about 1, and Insanity wasted 1%, top Shadow Priests 0%.
Do the hits land hard enough?Yes. Your gear is 1 item level below top Shadow Priests (330 to 331), 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

Cause not found yet · ~15kMind Flay: Insanity did about 31% of a typical Shadow Priest's damage here.

You pressed it 1 time; typical Shadow Priests 2. We haven't found why yet, so there are no suggestions right now.

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.
