There's more to parsing than just DPS. We did our first real venture into T13 this thursday and kept wondering why is our WHM randomly dying on Megaflare stacks. Checking out our trusty parser, it turned out she was hit twice by Megaflare for 5k+. We adjusted by telling everyone to spread out a little more and never had the issue again.

Untel dot ticks show up in battle log it would always be crap.
That number you're seeing is the combined damage of every DoT from every player. Or are you telling me that your three DoT ticks for a combined potency of 110 (135 with Shadow Flare) is hitting for almost the same numbers as my 306 potency Fire?
