Its not time since last proc, its time since last chance to proc. So if you have 1 dot ticking every 2s, the time since last chance to proc is never more than 2 (except at the start of the fight).

That looks about right to me.

7621 / 4320 - 1.764. So CS is hitting for 176% of the melee swing.

It should hit for 135% * 1.3 (Crusade) = 175%. Close enough for a small sample size.
