His point is that DPS in EQ is really inconsistent. For short fights especially, they're really unreliable. It's not like WoW where some classes may have a little ramp up time, but after that it's very consistent. EQ is much slower paced.
By going to DPM, you're not even counting extremely quick fights (like 30 second ones), because it didn't even last a whole minute. You're just looking at longer fights where the inconsistency can average out better.

Yeah I get that but your dps overall for that minute = your dpm overall. Any raid target you hit that goes much over a minute long is ussually a wipe anyway because any raid target you hit is ussually going to have an ae associated with it that will own the raid. Raid target longevity doesnt come into play till we get into vellious with targets that have over 32k hps. This is where we seperate the men from the boys.
