Good info there RpZip...I wasn't aware that the sunder portion of Devastate counted as a separate attack and could be dodged, parried, etc independently from the damage portion.
The different levels of sunder could possibly explain my issue. I'm 99% sure that I am fully trained in both sunder and devastate though (I'll have to double check that when I play next). IF I am fully trained and we are both the same level I don't see how his sunder could be better than my devastate. I'm gonna check my character though...just in case I missed a training upgrade.
It's quite possible that it's programmed incorrectly; which is to say, even at the highest rank for your level of Sunder and Devastate (I'm assuming you're not level 70, since you were talking about questing; if you are then there's other things at stake) since they are acquired at different levels the Sunder could be improperly reading as the more powerful debuff, preventing the Devastate sunders from applying properly.
As a general rule, things before level 70 are poorly tested when changed by Blizzard, so I wouldn't be surprised if this is the root cause.

A separate but related question. If I keep training Devastate do I need to continue to train Sunder? Does the Devastate debuff rely on my sunder training level or does that sunder upgrade through the Devastate training? Hope that made sense.
I'd assume so, but I don't know so. I'd drop the small amount of gold regardless.
