With a 50% yellow crit rate, 1.9 shreds per cycle, and 70% rips being 4cp it has the rip idol nudging out the shred idol.

Shred idol
1.9 shreds * 88dmg * 1.633 (extra dmg from crits)
yields 273.0376 extra damage a cycle

Rip idol
(((0.7* 4cp)+(0.3*5cp))*7dmg*6 ticks)*1.3 (mangle modifier)
yields 234.78 extra dmg a cycle

Sorry if this post is a bit offtopic.
Hmm... I saw that socket bonus issue at one point, but thought we fixed it. I'll take a look.

Regarding the rip idol... That is indeed the correct math, unless you have 4T6, in which case it's got an extra * 1.15, which would make it almost the same damage as what you have for Everbloom there. For me, Everbloom comes out significantly higher. If you e-mail me your character (cnervig@hotmail.com), I'll take a close look at it.
