I havent made many attempts on Illidan, and my WWS reports arent very accurate given enrages and such. It seems to point though that 1000DPS is significantly lower than their actual numbers. Can anyone point me to what I can expect on a proper kill?
EDIT: What of course would blow a hole in thie argument entirely is if the reflected damage isnt holy all the time.

The 1000 DPS was indeed a low estimate on my part, remember however that the Flames their melee and their Flame Blast is the only damage done by the actual Flames themselves, so that's also the only part eligible for reflection through Eye for an Eye. Blazes despite being dropped by the Flames don't count as damage done by the Flame itself, and are typically responsible for a fairly large amount of the damage a Flame tank takes (Extremely skilled/practiced tanks aside).
A more reasonable estimate perhaps would be perhaps 1500 DPS pre-avoidance, with the Flames standardly attacking every 2 seconds and dealing an average of 3000 damage per hit. Probably even slightly higher than 1500 DPS because I'm not taking into account Flame Blast now.
I think assuming 5% crit reduction from Resilience is a bit high though, as I said in my earlier post on the subject, that amount of Resilience is probably going to increase the amount of damage you take due to your lower avoidance by quite a bit. While that certainly means more chances for Eye for an Eye to proc, it'd also make you a lot more vulnerable. And I'm also entirely certain such effects can't proc from crit reduction through Defense, so it's important to take into account.
