Now to convert that number to an actual mp5 value and say that you get 820 mana per cast with a cast time of ~2.2 seconds, then that comes out to ~1864 mp5. I'm not sure on the exact calculation from...

How many times did you run it at 1000 hours in that trial? Run it 10-20 times at that length with the same setup and see if the numbers come out close. If they do, fine, present that as argument. ...

You can always add the trinket bonus into your stats manually and then use different stats for two different gearing setups to compare.

Wowhead shows tooltip values at 500 DD and 834 DoT. Looks like your tooltip values are already modified by Concussion, which is throwing off your calculations.

If you change the formula for the DD...

Just looking at the numbers, is the Frozen Core buff that much of an increase to PvE DPS? At 30% haste, that Ice Lance would have to do at least 34.8% of the damage of a Frostbolt just to break even...

Your armory shows that you have 20041 mana and 1045 Intellect. Subtract mana derived from intellect from your current mana pool to determine your base mana. Which comes to 4366 if I'm not mistaken.

The only problem with doing so is the loss of the threat modifier from the talent. In later parts of fights, it shouldn't be much of a fight, but early on it can allow you to push DPS much harder...

No, I don't think you understand the nature of the T8.5 dot. Keeping it "stacked up" does not give you more damage, but only delays the damage. It's an owed-damage proc. If the dot ticks off...

Most bosses don't have spell resistance. The partial resists that you see are due to the level difference and cannot be mitigated by spell penetration.
