Any one who tells you that DPS > Damage done report on a boss fight, is stupid.

Indeed. Anyone arguing DPS > Dmg done is pretty stupid.
The people you are playing with clearly don't have a clue if they keep bragging about their DPS while they're low on overall damage done.

quick question.
how can their DPS be higher if you are doing more damage? dps = over all damage/time.
so if you are doing more damage and all of you are participating the same amount of time then you will have a higher DPS. please explain to me how you are dealing more damage in the same amount of time and have a lower DPS?
unless what you are trying to say is that on trash they have higher dps because of short burst damage but on bosses you have higher dps. then I would recommend joining a better guild since most guilds really only care about downing bosses because thats where the purples come from. if your guild focuses on trash, then your guild probably sucks.
Because 'time' in your equation is not a constant. He does less dps, but fights longer... (this scenario can happen if someone dies, their dps is high but since they are dead... they didn't deal that dps for as long, thus having lower overall damage)
That's the thing, they aren't dealing damage in the same amount of time. But if they were(t set as constant), then of course they would have more overall damage as well.

Aye, just before you engage in a boss fight, reset your damage meter and look at it once the boss id downed. If your looking at damage done/DPS over the whole raid instance, then off course your going to see some disparities.
Personally, I only average around 1.5k or so on trash, while I'm up around 3k-3.5k on bosses in 10man, with my warlock.
I've seen people before post e-peen meter stats after clearing trash showing them doing over 3k dps and such, but when it comes to boss fights, they're struggling to maintain 2.5k over the few minutes it takes to down a boss.

As long as no one dies then the person with the highest dps will have also done the most damage. And if someones bragging about doing 5k dps but died in 10 seconds /kick playername
Edit: dps does not really matter as long as you get the boss down. Its just a number to throw around to show off your epeen.
