I don't remember why, but my ghoul doesn't appear active. (possible because log is from a ranged player that may be just out of range to capture ghoul dps?)

I'm usually #1 in DPS on bosses where movement isn't a normal function during a boss.
Short fights like Thane are usually where I get high end of 4k dps.

Anyway, figured I'd post this along with my question. I know it's not an exact comparison to other patchwerk fights and specs, but figured it's more helpful than me just asking a question.

My avg dps on most bosses is just over 4k dps. It seems like, from what i've viewed on other forums, I should be hitting above 5k dps. I'm a competent DK DPS, and my gear is pretty good. Just updated shoulders last night and will socket w/ a purple soverign. I realize some of my gems can now be replaced with full strength gems. My hit will also com down some as I'm about to have enough emblems to buy 7.5 legs. Though, this doesn't seem like a gear issue, but nothing is out of the question.

What am I missing here? Why am I not hitting over 5k dps yet? I realize no one will be able to give me an accurate answer here. Just hoping someone else ran into the same issues and realized what was missing. Maybe my guild is just taking too long to bring down certain bosses because our other DPS is lacking...increasing overall DPS time which decreases sustained DPS?
