FFLogs is almost never a reliable source by itself, for that reason.
After giving it more thought it could also be that WARs dps is designed around crit damage. I don't know if SSS is designed with much crit luck calculated in or if it scales differently per tank. Increased crits could explain why on paper DRK and WAR line up closely on dps, but WAR pulls ahead in practice(potency calcs don't consider crits). Not that i'm trying to be antagonistic or anything. I just dont know if SSS is enough to overturn the results of the rest of our data - ie. things like fflogs and parsing data. Especially when we have little information on how "equal" they are between classes.
