I was wondering if anyone had better rotations or advice about how to play a reaper other than the default attack + spacebar spam, I mean, it seems to work well enough, but I'm sure there's something better.

This is actually the guide that I based my reaper around. There is ALOT of useful information in this. I really suggest checking the full article out.
4) Skills and Rotations
The good thing about Reaper is there are few useless skills. But there is a main rotation you want to capitalize on with these glyphs. Most importantly are those Powerlinks to Grim Strike - they stack.
• Use as often as possible:
Death Spiral (one use) > Double Shear > Grim Strike > Sundering Strike > Death Spiral (second use - unless you are interrupted) > Grim Strike again and again and again if it keeps reseting. If you are unable to use the 2nd Death Spiral, you can use Smite to chain into Grim Strike quickly (only if you have to - since it won’t Powerlink). The reason for spreading out the use of Death Spiral is to prolong the Powerlink for your Grim Strike and Double Shear damage since either hit will give the Powerlink.
• While the above is on CD, you can either:
Cable Step > Shadow Burst
Pendulum Strike > Whipsaw
These skills contain a lot of movement so they can be used to your advantage in scenarios where you need to chase down a BAM or reposition.
• Keep using this rotation and if your MP falls too low to continue it, then whip out Shadow Lash and spam as much as possible to recover your MP. But don’t wait until you are too desperate for MP to use this. This doesn’t deal as much damage as your main skills, so don’t make a habit of using it when you don’t need to. A good trick is to use your Powerlink for speed from your Cable Step, which will increase the speed of your Shadow Lash, allowing you to finish faster.
• Become familiar with your evasion skills and their timing. It can be easy to panic spam Shadow Step but you want to use it sparingly. Also Retribution can be used offensively, it has a high crit chance and can be used to reposition.
Optional Skills:
• Don’t be afraid to use Shadow Reaping, it allows for more focused DPS if your MP pool is suffice. There is no trade-off like some other classes, this is 100% beneficial and has no negative effects. But you may want to time it so that it is off CD for important burn or shield phases.
• Smite is just filler but reserve it if you are running a dungeon that requires a stun such as ABHM. Also used as a chain before Grim Strike.
• Soul Reversal is good to just put a simple DoT on the target, also filler in PvE but the stun that can be activated after it’s applied will work on mechanics that require stuns.
• Shrouded Escape is for when you pull aggro, use it to help your tank if they are inexperienced. I think it also has an iframe - I need to double check.
