you misunderstand how window switching in gnome-shell and unity are supposed to work. The dock on the left is not a windows switching mechanism but application specific.
You switch to an application, then you switch between it's windows. Or directly to a window of an app by right-clicking its dock icon (see screen-shot). Showing two windows of an app as separate icons is definitely wrong.

Also, setting StartupWMClass is just a workaround, the real problem is that the psi-plus executable is not named psi, or alternatively psi-plus claims its X WindowClass to be "psi" when it shouldn't.
