The question I'd like to raise is what is a parse?
For me a parse is a test of how well I can execute a set rotation over time, the longer I can maintain a 'perfect rotation' the more I'm rewarded in terms of a final dps (crit rng notwithstanding). So in that regard it makes sense to standardize 1.5 mil for parsing. You will have a more normalized parse.
You'll always have crazy people, myself included, who will spend hours chasing the god parse, but that's how we enjoy the game so that will never go away.
I'd like to know what others think a parse is to them. I'd also like Bioware to fix their input lag issue, missed gcd's, and missed inputs, Though while we're on the subject of miracles: I'd really like a pony.
