I have an addon that pretty much does spreadsheet-style calculation of damage live in-game, reporting the DPS of the nukes and dots, and estimating solar/lunar eclipse damage.
The relevant bit is the way it calculates dot damage during eclipse. It multiplies the dot DPS by the remaining eclipse duration, adds the damage that would gained from IIS, and returns that as the DPS. If the MF/IS number is higher than that of the eclipse-buffed nuke - generally only in the first few seconds of a proc - then it's worth using.
It's somewhat inaccurate as the total dot damage is not properly represented but an eclipse proc is pretty much it's own special case. Would an approach to dot recasting such as that be worth adding into your spreadsheet?
