Using Cheeky's DPS spreadsheet and running into questions...Follow

As the title states, I'm a little confused. I picked up Cheeky's spreadhseet and was messing around with some figures yesterday.

I've read that the Wolfslayer's Sniper Rifle is currently about the most optimized for a BM 1:1 rotation, but that a slower weapom (2.9-3.0, etc) is better for a SV or MM build with a 1:1.5 shot rotation. Well, I set the spreadhsset to a 1:1.5 rotation as I am a 0/21/40 SV build. What's odd is that I was showing about a 4 DPS increase with the WSR, even though I'm losing out on 5 agi (1 from LR) and 7AP (5 from agi, 2 from the bow itself) and it should be optimized for my shot rotation more. Yet somehow, it's not.

Add to that the fact that my troll racial is supposed to give me a 1% increased crit chance with bows, and I'm thoroughly baffled. I tried to post a reply over there and see if anyone could give me information, but came up blank. Any ideas, guys? =)

Thanks!

eh. Beats me. I've run into issues with the spreadsheet, too. It told me that if I switched from the crystalforged waraxe with savagery to the Hellforged Halberd without any enchant, I'd see a DPS increase. So I went out and bought it, and equipped it in a pinch before a raid... My attack power and crit went down until I put an enchant on it. There is no way that a melee weapon that decreases my AP and crit could increase my DPS with a 1:1 shot rotation. I even went back to check to see if raid buffs were turned on, but they weren't.
