Simulating 10mn DPS on a dummy boss with my gear gives me an average hit of 13644 and an average crit of 28984.
But on the PTR, while my soul fires and conflagrates hits for the sames values than the simulation, my incinerates are hitting for ~ 15850 and critting for 33400, which is a nice +16% dmg.

Anyone can confirm this ?

I've found a similar difference between 422-3 live and PTR destro tests, same stats, no proc items equipped, same spec. From what I saw it was just Incinerate.

With 5280 SP I was getting 6540 hit average on simulationcraft and 8000 average on PTR dummies. This was on PTR after the patch that scaled back Cataclysm to 25%.

Can't explain the difference and between work and having to do 3 clears of Firelands + PTR bosses I didn't have much time to actually figure stuff out. If someone else could help test I would appreciate it.

This infraction has been reversed.

Reason:

Upon further review it looks like there was more to your observation than I initially thought. Carry on.
