I noticed you have 2 models of Thunderfury. One which adds the extra 30 damage and then the proc, and another that calculates the extra 30 nature damage into the proc dps column. What are the differences (if any) of these two options as I am not quite sure which one to use when I calculate my data. I only ask this because my dps increases severly when I use the alt model method.
I really love the format you have for your spreadsheets. Keep up the outstanding work!

Ok, Valar did the TF proc modelling. Since noone in my guild has a TF, my knowledge of it is limited. Anyway, I'll explain each modelling so you can choose which one you want to use.
Regular model:
Uses the white dps only TF's DPS (or about 40ish). Then it adds 23 damage per white swing (instants/evis/sword procs not included). This 23 damage cannot crit, nor can it be resisted. Finally, it adds the proc dps assuming a 6ppm proc of 300 nature damage which can be resisted.
Alt model:
Adds the +nature damage as physical damage. This lets it be added more accurately into sinister strike calculations. Then it calculates the proc in the same manner as above.
Both modellings have upsides and downsides. I'm not sure which one is more accurate, but I'd use model 1 if you are worried about BWL, and model 2 for MC/AQ/Naxx as armor values are much lesser outside bwl. If anyone knows exactly how the +nature damage with TF works (can it crit, can it be resisted etc, is it added to sinister strike or evis, etc), please feel to tell me.
