Can't quite explain how he got 7k, but I don't see any major discrepancies between that report and simcraft's detailed damage breakdown for 0/28/43.

I was
0/28/43 last night for the 7.1k patchwerk parse. I really couldn't believe the numbers myself after the fight was over, but I think some of it has to do with the bugged lifetap glyph.
According to the tooltip, Glyph of Lifetap is currently giving 40% of your spirit to you as spellpower when you're specced 5/5 unholy power. Coupled with 4pc t7, every time I lifetap I'm gaining about (rough guess) 340 spellpower for 10 seconds, and after the 4pc falls off I'll still have a bonus 220 for another 10 seconds. This is double the intended spellpower I'm supposed to be getting from the glyph, and the 4pc only enhances it.
As far as the spec goes, I have a strong feeling it's going to get nerfed down to around where our my aff/destro-cb parses are. Lifetap glyph asside, the spec still feels too strong. My best guess is that master conjurer will take the hit. I wasn't specced for molten core last night either. Looking back, it was probly an oversight. I wasn't really expecting the spec to produce the numbers that it did. It's very fun to play, and some of the best burst I've ever seen, but I can already see the nerf bat gathering speed in the distance.
