Having gone back to the drawing board a bit, I realize I'm not only fine as I was, I'm pretty much doing what I should be doing damage wise with the current gearing I have. Sad to see my static (they're all FC too) start to slip into being all about numbers like that, but it's cool. They tried to replace me once. Let's see how well that works again.
You really shouldn't trail that far behind anyone else though. If you're like 300dps behind on a typical fight then something's wrong. Not to mention hummelfaust isn't your typical dps check. You can fail it for other reasons aside from not doing enough damage, such as not managing cooldowns or timing your burst properly (nor is it a proper way to gauge effective dps, because I don't use my burst on the first set of faust, and as a MCH that drops my dps by a lot)
