Can you please explain how you came to the conclusion that Spore Cloud stacks with Faerie Fire? Is it only the final rank (Rank 6) that my level 75 bat does not have yet?

Don't go buy a new stable slot for a spore bat just yet, further testing is required since my server went down before I could completely finish!

My Spore Bat is level 80, with rank 6 Spore Cloud.
I did it by using the Screeching Bow (39.1 damage no range) and testing my autoshot against a target first without debuffs. Then with my Spore Bat's cloud debuff on it (a slight increase in autoshot damage). Then with a druid's feral faerie fire (a slight increase in autoshot damage). Then with 5 sunders (a large increase in autoshot damage).
With each debuff I gained autoshot damage--and since my bow has no more than 4 damage variation (I didn't use hunter's mark, and I removed all equipment that procs), these increases in damage show that the debuffs do indeed stack.
When someone else gets a chance to play with a level 80 Spore Bat and test this again, let me know. My tests were quite rushed as I was trying to beat the server shutdown. So, this test needs to be replicated! Maybe it won't stack with boomkin FF?
I think I calculated it out to about 124 armor pen rating based on the pets's debuff post Sunder and FF--but this number I'm a LOT less sure about. Help me with this one too.
