The damage of the ticks sometimes varied by 1dmg, like the low ticks would either tick for 658 or 659.
With the Chaotic Meta, crit damage seemed to be around a 2.055ish range.
Glyphed:
658/659 - 1353
759/760 - 1560

The 2.055ish crits is a result of the crit damage bonus talents being hardboiled into mages and warlocks. Our inherent critical damage bonus with spells is now
1 / 100% 1.5 * 1.33 = 199.5%, as opposed to healers whose critical bonus with spells is 0.5 / 50%. Assuming an active Chaotic meta, mage/lock crits now are
206% 205.485%, down from 209%. The hybrid caster DPS classes will still crit at 209% as their respective crit damage bonus is featured as a passive ability in the associated talent tree.
Binkenstein mathed the method in which dots add in additional ticks based on spell haste at
TotemSpot. Of particular note is the fact that the game rounds the bonus ticks up or down instead of flooring them. Bane of Agony ticks average to 130 + (Spellpower * 0.1) at 0% haste before passives and masteries. We should question the extra ticks' purpose instead of their extreme variance, such as maintaining an overall average damage while keeping consistent with the spell's description/flavor.
With Mystearica's posted stats, we could expect the following:
Average tick damage: 759.27
Tickspeed at 1522 haste: 1.365965s
Tickspeed at 1522 haste + Eradication: 1.138305s
Pitting those against her results, we see the following.
Example 1) 24/1.365965 = 17.5699 [18] extra ticks, sum 13413, average 763.40 [745.16]
Example 2) 28/1.365965 = 20.4983 [20] extra ticks, sum 16190, average 789.82 [809.5]
Example 3) 24/1.138305 = 21.08398 [21] extra ticks, sum 15839, average 751.23 [754.24]
Example 4) 28/1.138305 = 24.59798 [25] extra ticks, sum 21094, average 857.55 [843.76]
EDIT: I felt obligated to resume a post that I had been working upon this morning regarding BoA and combined it together with the first paragraph.
