Doesn't matter, he did 460 dps, someone else should do those things because his numbers are too big
If the dead DD still managed 460 dps and the next best did 290, the person who did 290 really needs to step up his game, or get better gear, or something. For dps done to adds, there's an option to see incoming damage by source, so that's easy to figure out. Interrupts usually increase personal dps (for DD classes, anyway) at the expense of the party; if they're holding their interrupts like they should, they'll do less dps than they can.
