I'd like to get some clarification on logs if I could from some of the seasoned pros in here. After several weeks of attendance issues, we finally got Twins down last night. Exciting, I know... Anyway, I was reviewing the logs and while chastising myself for not using enough Expel Harms, I was thinking about Damage Taken. Here are my questions:
1) Why do the logs differ so much between Skada, Recount, and Warcraft Logs? Skada had me way under my pally co-tank, Recount had me way, way over him on damage taken, and WCL has me slightly above him. Is my insight correct that Skada doesn't count shielded damage against damage taken and maybe Recount counts initial hit and stagger damage so is double-dipping? Recount had me like 2x as much damage taken as him, WCL has me taking 17% more.

2) I was feeling pretty down about (1) so I went to look at another BrM that is MT for a friend's guild who is ahead of us at 5 or 6/7M. He took A TON more damage than his OT (a warrior) though his damage done was way more than mine (we were both running chex, though I'm gearing mastery; also he was taking the WW's). This lead me to wonder if the Damage Taken tab can be trusted in WCL for BrM? Can we just take the total amount of Damage Taken / DTPS(a) and that's that?

I guess maybe what another question is in regards to (2) above is, if all shields (my own and disco) were converted to straight heals instead, would the Damage Taken 'bar' be solid green? And I just took more damage?
Thanks for reading / looking, have a great Friday.
