DPS is the number before it gets adjusted to ADPS and RDPS. That's what has been said ad nauseam (and this will be the last time I repeat it). It's not about what it is to him or anyone else, it's 100% factual. ADPS and RDPS are post-processed DPS numbers that are considerably different.

Dungeons and 24 mans do not adjust for ADPS nor RDPS at all!

A brief google would have even provided Kihra's explanation of this to you, from the fflogs website.

For example, if you are a Monk, your rDPS would subtract out damage you gained from external buffs like Trick Attack or Battle Voice, but it would also add in damage you gave to others from Brotherhood.

aDPS stands for "adjusted DPS", and it is measuring how much damage you did with only single target padding removed. AOE padding is still allowed. The formula for it is:

aDPS = DPS - (damage gained from a set of specific single target buffs)

The buffs removed by this metric include Devilment / Standard Finish, Astrologian cards, and Left Eye.
