You can have your Careful AIm phase Rapid Fire rotation memorized down pat and spam the right keys at the right times, but you ain't gonna be on top of the chart because:
1. Everyone else is going all out and all that spell animation drops your fps to nothing.
2. Server doesn't sync your focus regen properly and keeps telling you "This skill requires more focus" when your bar is nearly full.
3. You hit a shot and it doesn't cast for another second and stalls your subsequent rotation.

In a nut shell, you can improve your dps substantially by increasing your skill, decreasing your graphics settings, and by optimizing your network. These three factors dwarf any argument over gems/enchants/reforges.
