Yeah, I think it's the usual. People figure out some magical way to reap a high number and then claim that's their DPS from then on.

My main is a mage, and one day in a pug, on Krick of all fights, I came in just a bit over 8k dps. Understand my mage isn't very well geared, maybe avg 225-230 gear. It was just that I never had to move in this fight (he didn't do the mines phase), the overall group DPS was high, allowing me to spam arcane blast, and I had a ton of luck on crits. IOW, something I will probably never repeat.

Every dog has its day, but some dogs want to lord that day all over everybody, I guess.

Also, if you EVER link recount, you are relegated to full n00b status imo.
