You have 10end too much on the chest (base stats), and 3 too little on bracers (armoring). You're missing 1 willpower on the Mod in your gloves.

I see about a 5 DPS gain on Live and 9 DPS loss on PTS from using FL on cooldown, so I'll add FL for now as
Code:
actions+=/force_lightning,if=!ptr

I see very little (~1 DPS) additional benefit from adding the Recklessness conditional. I can get maybe +3 DPS (on live) with:
Code:
...
actions+=/thundering_blast,if=dot.affliction.remains>cast_time&buff.recklessness.down
actions+=/recklessness,if=cooldown.force_lightning.remains=0|(cooldown.chain_lightning.rem​ains=0&buff.lightning_storm.react)
actions+=/force_lightning,if=buff.lightning_barrage.react
actions+=/chain_lightning,if=buff.lightning_storm.react
actions+=/polarity_shift,moving=0
actions+=/crushing_darkness,if=buff.recklessness.down
...
but it tanks horribly on PTS.

Edit: Can anyone confirm that TB does in fact eat a charge of Recklessness?

actions+=/lightning_strike,if=buff.lightning_storm <-- need help here for 'available'
actions+=/force_lightning
actions+=/lightning_strike

I'm interested to see fishing for CL procs is better than using FL on cooldown.

You want "cooldown.lightning_storm.remains". I assume it's better to FL when recklessness is up anyway, so try

actions+=/force_lightning,if=buff.recklessness.up|cooldown.lightning_storm.remains>0
actions+=/lightning_strike
