But sometimes when instancing and raiding I'm seeing redicilously amplified rip-ticks. Normally I'd do 650-700 per tick or so with mangle up, depending on buffs, however I've encountered ticks as high as 900 just randomly, and then later in the fight down to 650-700ish. How can this be? It's surely not any boss weaknesses and no additional buffs I can think of that would boost this so much. Can this have something to do with the mangle timing? (And no, it's not that any double-mangle is up cause of precise timing either, it can happen when I run alone).
Anyone else encountered this yet? And anyone have any clue to why it can happen?

I have experienced this myself. At first I thought it was wierd, but assumed it was just several random damage enhancing buffs that happened at the same time, like BM Hunters Ferocious Inspiration, Survival Hunters Expose Weakness, random proc trinkets and Shamans Unleashed Rage.
However, after doing the math, I don't think that even this can push Rip damage that high. However, if we assume that the Mangle Debuff somehow would be counted twice for one Rip, then the math seems correct. (~540 * 1.3 * 1.3 = ~900)
*edit* *edit again, rip is 6 ticks, yes?*
According to wowwiki, rank 7 Rip damage is Attack Power * 0,24 + 1092. So to achieve ticks of 900 with Mangle only counted once, you would need:
( 900*6 - 1092 ) / 0,24 / 1,3 = 13807 AP
( TickDamage * NrOfTicks - 1092 ) / Rip AP Modifier / Mangle Bonus
I hope my math is correct, but I think I messed up somewhere.
