Not really. You can glance at omen several times and see big numbers for TPS, but that doesn't mean anything. Omen's TPS reading column is based on a small sample window, not the entire fight. It does show total threat generated, which you could screenshot at the end of the fight at 1%, and then divide it by duration, to get a number. The online calculators for sustained threat do that automatically and aren't working off 3-5-10 second windows for their TPS, but the entire fight (which is all that matters, generally).
On a related note, has anyone else been noticing Omen acting weirdly the past few weeks? Often times the >Pull Aggro< bar isn't showing up or shows up intermittently, within the same fight. A few seconds it'll be up there, then it goes away, then it's back, etc. And it's actually started to be somewhat wrong. It used to never be wrong, ever, and was very very reliable for myself and my offtanks to work with. Now, in the past month or so, I've had one of my OT's (a feral druid) overaggro me on some fights that I was getting 0 rage on, while he was (dodges, etc), and even though he was still showing below me (and never passed me!), by quite a bit, the mobs ended up switching to him.
This isn't a typical "Dur, omen's wrong, halp" type post, but this is behaviour that never used to be occuring in the previous like year or whatever of Omen use, since I watch it very, very closely and got a feel for its mechanics.
