It shows that I used an attack (instant!) then it shows to me damage made by someone else, then it shows me damage done by my instant attack...It's ridiculous...
I'd rather they delete the combat log or make it less parseable, so it only logs damage you make, and only logs crit damage and healing from anyone else. As it is, the combat log is useless because it blows by too fast to actually read it in a party of 8.

If you would rather people get really mean about it, this data is always going to be sent over the wire, so instead of sending numbers send %'s. That way nobody knows the exact damage they are doing except relative to other players attacking the same target as a floating point value that has no intrisic meaning outside combat with that monster/boss.
