Completely unbuffed I just went on PTR and did a 1.9k FB against boglash (had to use claw to make sure I didn't kill him before I got 5 combo points!). Looking at char screen showed a damage range of 350-370, and my last default hit was 255 (meaning ~1/3rd damage reduction). That's around 3k non-crit (i.e. almost 7k crit!) whilst unbuffed against a zero armour target, without the 15% increase talent (but with 4t6, which is 15%) and not with a full energy bar (although it doesn't really make much difference). I should think if you specced it, raid buffed against a 0 armour target you could get almost 10k, which is freaking ridiculous and shows why they don't want to make it better. If they removed the energy->damage conversion and just let it sit at a static 35 energy, it might actually be better than rip in a few situations.
Rake is the crappy dot. And yes, it sucks. Claw is the non-mangle direct attack.
