There you go with the insults. Are you that confident that I'm getting my calculations wrong?

It is genuinely not an insult, nor did I mean it as such. I am stating the fact that you have used averages wrong multiple times in this thread, and have yet to correct the behavior.

You can't just assume a single proc halfway through the fight. Sometimes there will be long stretches with no procs at all - some fights won't have a single proc. Some fights will have multiple procs back to back - these don't double up the damage, though, because it procs a dot, and so procs don't stack.

Of course! Nor am I denying that is what will happen in individual fights.
Melee combat works the exact same way as weapon procs. 10 DPS is the average in our example, but sometimes individual fights will be 7 DPS, 13 DPS, etc. On a long enough timeline it still averages out to 10 DPS.
The reason why you are using averages wrong is because you are trying to put a single variable using one type of average into an equation using a different type of average. It is an apples to oranges comparison.
You are basically saying "There was one fight were I got zero procs per minute, therefore you are getting 0 DPS from the proc across the average of all fights". It's not correct.
