On these fights were you utilizing trueshot or straight up meleeing? Do you own/use a BFG?
I mean only straight up normal ol' auto attack fights. Trueshot/BFG would skew the results.

If we’re talking literally melee damage vs melee damage ... I don’t know man. It simply doesn’t make sense. It could be true, but it neither computes nor have I heard this to be a consensus generally held by the community. I certainly have not seen it. I’ve seen ToV rangers beat lesser geared monks. I’ve parsed Aikons (old friend) sustain numbers with just my shaman’s gimp ass haste that I’ve never seen any ranger consistently maintain.
Aikons is an exceptionally geared monk. I've not talked to him in a while, but he might be BIS everything or pretty close to it. My gear isn't quite to that quality.

I dunno. Maybe? Doesn’t make a lick of rational sense though.

What I do know is my epic/sos monk 34% worn haste consistently beats out a 60 ranger buddy with blam stick and swiftwind.
It's a secret to everybody. I'll say I do a fair amount of damage from procs and keep swiftwind in my secondary for the additional 30 atk. I've read a claw of lightening will increase dps by approx 15% over swiftwind, but I've never parsed that.
