It is hard to give detailed advice without logs or any details. At your gear level without a legendary meta gem or cloak, and also using a lot of mastery/haste heavy pieces instead of crit, fire may be a bit frustrating to play. Since you're just starting, I recommend checking out Icy Vein's fire mage guide to get started: http://wow.icy-veins.com/fire-mage-pve-dps-guide

In terms of gear, there are some things you can fix. To start, you are 0.52% off from hit cap. Some regemming and/or reforging should fix that. You're also using Windsong on your staff, which isn't as powerful as Jade Spirit.

There is an advanced guide in the Fire subforums, but it might be too complex at first since it assumes a rather high gear level.

On the subject of gear, I would highly advise you to attempt to acquire the 4 set, all pieces have crit on them and the bonus from the 2 and 4 set is massive. The general advise for you would be more crit: 11k rating really is relatively low.

If you give us a log we can help you with gameplay.
