One question, can someone verify the values for wrathtide longbow in the spreadsheet? I have both the steelhawk crossbow and wrathtide and in game the wrathtide gives me more dps but in the spreadsheet the numbers show lower.

Perhaps I am reading it incorrectly?
Please repeat after me : Character sheet DPS is meaningless. Character sheet DPS is meaningless. Character sheet DPS is meaningless. Character sheet DPS is meaningless.

There, don't you feel better now?

So despite a 28dps loss by using the Black Bow, the overall damage done (in a full oom cycle) is still significantly higher. Course this may bring the whole potions/gcd/rotations issues into play and greatly complicate matters.
This is the second request recently I've gotten for this, so I can add it easily enough.

Dude, you have no idea.... (Although I've gotten at least 5 messages already about hit% changes. So I just can't win.)
