On 2nd thought, maybe this isn't the end of the world:

with 3 dots up, the average tick that shows up is around 250 dmg. Assuming I was bad and only had 3 dots rolling at all times (conservative estimate, I used shadowflare and thunder as well), then there would be a total of 13330 / 250 = 53.32 dot ticks. Multiply the dot ticks by 3 and that gives us 159.96 seconds. According to the bard's dps, the fight lasted about 511 seconds, so I'm wondering whether dots are accurately being counted into the dot damage, or it may be rolled into overall damage done.

After servers are up I'll go to the dummies with the parser and see exactly what's going on :V
