As a follow-up on the variability in damage meters, I had both SWStats and Recount running at the same time today during my CoS run. SWStats said 900-1000dps on the OOMkins. Recount said 1100-1200dps. SAME DAMN FIGHTS. I may try using a log parser and see what it reports over the same run tomorrow. I'm flabbergasted at how much differently these tools seem to treat the same damn data.
The problem is that there is more than one way to calculate DPS. Some calculate the entire time you are in combat and others calculate strictly your actual DPS time. Likely this is the difference you're seeing. You might want to compare to a WWS parse. WWS shows both burst and average DPS. I'm guessing one meter will match the one number and the other will match the second.
