My only question would be if Shadowfiend was used at all. It doesn't look like it was, but if so that could be a slight issue.
The premade was obviously multi-dotting, but the live character test on PTR doesn't have enough DoT ticks off the norm. Same with the live test itself. This is especially true if you consider that he was most likely doing much higher DPS before going OOM, then his dots continued to tick, which drags the DPS down slightly and increases the estimated dot ticks.
