So Bioware always goes on about how the DPS classes fall within their 5% target as show by the data they have collected, and I was wondering if they (Bioware) could let us know what that magic number is so we can test rotations and such to optimize to what they expect our class can do.

I would say the 5% claim is bs. There is no way my powertech in full columi/rakata/black hole can put out much more dps than a full campaign assassin with that claim.
