Don't use the "dummy"...go out and kill stuff and learn rotations that way.....no Boss just stands there smiling at you.

I'd swap siphoning strikes for either path or cripple, swap inner light on backbar to trap and trade shield out for ele drain when you parse. When parsing apply ele and your buffs, drop trap and then drop blockade, path and cripple then go into your spammable. Once bow proc is up use it, after that it's just maintaining buffs/debuffs and getting as many bow procs as you can
Well, with that gear having 15k DPS is just not possible, really.
It sounds like you are not weaving - not using light attacks in between skills
Also would be nice to have a knowledge about your CP allocation.
Here is my lol tests (22k) from cp560
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xfZs5SN40k
Now it's a bit better - closer to 30k. And other gear: Julianos + Scathing Mage + Valkyn, bit changed CPs either
Still far from top with their 50k, but I didn't have Siroria at all - lazy to farm it...

If trying to actually learn a mageblade "rotation", you couldnt give worse advice. This must be practiced first if you want it to work in content. It is arguably the hardest rotation in the game as it really does need to be a dynamic rotation if you want good results. Stamblade is like a hybrid dynamic rotation, as their are static parts to it that repeat, which IMO, makes the stamina version slightly easier (harder to play in actual content though).
To the OP. If your sustain is struggling, then one of 4 things is happening. Most likely, your light attack weave needs work. NBs sustain with light attacks. If you arent light attack weaving every skill, you are going to struggle. The other obvious problem is that your siphoning uptime is bad, which is how the first point works. Third, your elemental drain up time is bad. We need the return from this skill if we want to sustain without heavy attacks. Fourth, your potion uptime is bad.
As stated, when parsing on a dummy, Ele Drain replaces your shield on your back bar. If you are going to drop IL on your back bar, you do it for a skill that gives minor force (Channeled Acceleration or Trap).
If you are looking for a smooth circular rotation, look to another class. If you want to master a dynamic rotation, be prepared to spend hours and hours on a dummy.
The best advice I can give is to build towards a full rotation. Start by practicing your merciless. Keep the buff up, make sure you can weave funnel health and that every 5th skill is a bow proc. You should be getting 3 per cast of merciless. This alone takes practice. If you cant do that, the rest wont matter.
Then add in blockade, siphoning and elemental drain. This will allow you to sustain for longer, and it will start to feel like a rotation. Then add in Twisting Path and cripple. If you try to juggle everything out of the gate, it will likely go badly.
Dont think of a rotation, think of priorities. Your priorities are as follows: Merciless/Bow Proc>Elemental Blockade>Twisting Path>Cripple>Siphoning>Spam Skill. You also need ele drain (a friend can help you here) and potions up 24/7. You wont sustain without potions. Above 25% health, your spam skill is either funnel or elemental Weapon, and below it is impale. Below 25%, you can stop using Path and cripple.
Practice, practice, Practice.
Edit: Dont listen to anybody telling you to drop siphoning attacks.
you didnt state your mundus stone, drop ward for ele drain, no vma staves, are your weapons at least gold, do you have alchemy maxed, do you use spell power pots, are you light attack weaving, are you keeping up buffs.
my advice, go get the psijic skill line maxed. you are using best in slot gear minus the vma staff and zaan.
the faster you kill the dummy, less of an issue sustain is. also, magblades have the best sustain out of all mag classes
@Aurielle
How ppl can play without damage numbers? Your video shows literally nothing.
There are people who will tell you that you can't do decent DPS on magblade without expensive spell power pots and a dynamic rotation.
I'm here to tell you that these people are wrong.
Yeah, you need a dynamic rotation to hit the big numbers that popular YouTubers are hitting. If you're on PC, a dynamic rotation is somewhat easier to achieve, thanks to add-ons that track ground AOEs and Merciless procs. If you want a dynamic rotation on console, you literally have to count light attacks in your head.
I dunno about you, but I can't do that. My main DPS is a 40k DPS pet sorc, and I'm used to static rotations.
So, I set out with the goal of creating a magblade build for my alt that could hit at least 30k DPS with a static rotation; I achieved a magblade that can hit 35k DPS with a static rotation while using trashpots.

Skills:
Front Bar: Twisting Path, Impale, Degeneration, Merciless Resolve, Inner Light, Fiery Rage
Back Bar: Unstable Wall of Fire, Crippling Grasp, Elemental Drain/Harness Magicka, Siphoning Attacks, Inner Light, Soul Harvest
Why Degeneration? Sure, you end up overcasting it with my rotation, but it's much cheaper than Swallow Soul (helping with sustain), it obviates the need for spell power pots when you're practicing, and it's not bad for self heals. You also get empower from the Mage's Guild passive that increases the damage of your light attack just before you hit your Merciless Bow proc. If you want to waste money on spell pots and risk running out of magicka, throw Swallow Soul in its place. Why the other, shorter morph of blockade? Because the purpose of this build was to design a static rotation that still maximizes Merciless Resolve bow procs. Unstable Wall of Fire's final damage burst procs just as you're ready to cast the skill again, so there's no downtime on the dot.
Rotation:
Prebuffs + Initial Ult: Merciless Resolve > Siphoning > Ele Drain > Destro Ult
Main rotation: LA > Blockade > LA > Crippling Grasp > Weapon Swap > LA > Twisting > LA > Degeneration > LA > Bow Proc
After every third bow proc, recast Merciless Resolve, swap cancel, cast Siphoning Attacks, and start in on the main rotation. The only difference this time is that you throw in LA > Elemental Drain after Crippling Grasp.
When you're in execute range, work in as much Impale spam as you can while still keeping up your dots.
Easy peasy 35k. No, you won't be at the top of any leaderboards, but you can still complete all the content in the game with the added bonus of NOT having to master a difficult dynamic rotation. If I were to gold everything out, I could probably squeeze even more out of it.

Bravo for going outside the box, seriously. You can absolutely play a static rotation on mageblade, but you are likely going to top out somewhere in the 30s, at least that was the case for me when I first started playing one. Which kinda brings us back around to one of my first points. If you want a static rotation, you will do better with another class. Is 35 enough for all content? Absolutely. But why not just play a static sorc at that point and break into the 40s. Heck, on a mageblade in BIS gear, you can hit 30k single target by using Blockade, merciless resolve, and a light attack spam with bow procs. There are lots of ways to get into the 30s. If you want to get into the mid to high 40s or have any thought of breaking 50k, it doesnt work anymore.
I assume that most people on the forums coming to ask for help are seeing youtubers pull big numbers, rolling a mageblade, and then being like WTF am I doing differently. haha. Well, the dynamic rotation is the difference most likely.
I actually like degeneration on a mageblade. I dont use it the way you do, but in 4 man, I replace cripple with degeneration. You lose like 1.5k-2k. single target and save on the potion bill. Since we still use twisting/refreshing path, we have mobility when we need it.
I do not, however, like the idea of dropping funnel anywhere outside of a high end raid pushing score. It's just too good of a skill for yourself and the rest of your group. Also, if you are in a raid good enough to utilize elemental weapon, you should be using a dynamic rotation IMO.

I get what you're saying, and I definitely agree that there are much better class options for static rotations. There's a reason why my magsorc is my main for serious content. I only use my magblade to farm tel var and occasionally run pledges, so 35k is more than enough for that.
People (especially new magblade players on console following PC players' YouTube videos) have to keep in mind that dynamic light attack rotations are very difficult to pull off on console, due to the performance limitations of the system. In the heat of battle, it's often nearly impossible to tell if you've landed precisely five light attacks and need to swap to your front bar. We also have no way to track our ground AOEs. With add-ons and silky smooth 100 FPS, I might be able to pull off a dynamic magblade rotation. Until then? No way. It's way too much to keep track of without additional help -- for me, at least. I have a lot of respect for any console player who manages to pull off a dynamic magblade rotation.

3 magicka recovery enchants aren't really helping your DPS, but really at the point you're at it's mostly rotation issues.

I agree, I'm not really having sustain issues anymore, more like rotation issues. I'm thinking of dropping elemental weapon and going back to funnel. I know I'm charging my weapon but my light attack won't cast causing me to have to recharge my weapon causing my dots and buffs to fall off.
