Oh and be careful when you talk about "Damage from crits". Remember one single critical hit has it's damage made up of two components. One component is the damage that would have occured ANYWAY and the other is the EXTRA damage from the critical hit. So do you mean damage from a crit or the EXTRA damage from a crit?

Total damage from crit based attacks and damage from hit based attacks is what I'm calculating.
I see your point about the extra damage component in the crit attack, but it wasn't what I was after. Now I'm really spanking myself for dodging those statistical mathematics courses some 5 years ago. They would make understanding these things so much easier.

Sama,
I wasn't comparing hits, just saying that the proportion of DPS is not 50/50. It's 66% to 33% because over 60 hits, 40 hit and 20 crit. Which means 66% of your DPS is due to hits and 33% dps is due to crits...
So dividing 20/40 to get the proportion of dps due to crits doesn't give you the right figure. It's 20/60 for crit DPS proportion and 40/60 for hit dps proportion. But then that's not including the point above where those 20 crits would have hit anyway, even if they didn't crit. Woopee! Friday fun! *head explodes*
