1.Google wow warlock
that gives a few guides that seems to have useful information
If the DPS is high enough to avoid sniping comments then it is enough.
I don't use any particular guide just scan and compare since buffs/nerfs 
change often what you are reading could well be outdated.
DPS optimsation doesn't really matter until 60+ since skills and gear 
change so rapidly.

The lower level balance doesn't seem to have had much tuning effort.
There are periods when the character feels weaker than it did 2 levels 
ago, another 2 levels and it may seem overpowered.
You may have little luck with only average gear upgrades then a best in 
slot for that level drops, you may not even notice it is compared to 90 
gear.

Or maybe it is just slower button pushing after the cup of coffee an 
hour ago wears off :-)

If by 'doing better' you mean level faster you have the heirloom gear 
but do you have the high level guild perks and guild BOA xp gear with 
banner? [ not that I ever remember to use the banner until afterwards ]


2.a.* click it and see, mouseover should give some hint
2.b. No idea what it could be except new actions are autofilled when 
learned the first seems to be weapon autoattack toggle.
What is Trap in your locale language?
Perhaps you dragged a generic icon from your editor,there are general 
and character specific icons. See if one of those matches.
I know when editing a cat strike on the keyboard has inserted random 
icons.  Or maybe not random, I have spent ages sometimes trying to 
recreate some cat input effects :-)

*Keeping in mind most of wow is a confused blur to me with character 
actions mashed together and mixed with other games.

3.(rambling)I decided to convert all my bankers to warlocks as 
profession slot holders because they were   so   easy   to   level even 
without guild perks. Each has their own guild for the guildbanks.
Started when one that happened to be a warlock was holding BOA gear and 
went for a stroll since it had the gear anyway. It was mid 20's in a 
couple of hours including a couple of AH sessions.
They just burn off rested so that compensates for the guild xp perks anyway.
