I wouldn't dismiss a WF totem so easily.. Especially if your tank has a Thunderfury, Windfury can bump his threat up by a good 100 TPS, in my experience. Granted, the only way we tested this was ingame with KTM + Omen, looking at the numbers for total threat and dividing by combat time, so it probably was not as accurate as a plain parse, but- Without Windfury we saw just about exactly what you did, about 1000 TPS, with WF it went up to a good 1150 ish.

Also, I'm not sure how good an idea it is to add in healing threat from Earth Shields, PoMs, and Lifeblooms when considering plain sustained threat generation, as those things are entirely out of your tank's control, and are probably going to vary considerably more from tank to tank and guild to guild than plain tank skill usage.
