Control Wizard DISINTEGRATE does only 50% damage it should!

This problem has been ongoing for awhile. The Power states one damage range and when you strike a DUMMIE it's doing less than 50% of what it should be sometimes almost 60% ??? No one else noticing this that's a control wizard? I've had a few friends go to the Trade of Blades with me and they too have confirmed this...

icy terrain bug was known months , MONTHS before it was fixed.. this is nothing new.
So unslot chilling presence and see what will happen to the tooltip
Tested again.
I also see disintegrate not giving the amount of damage shown in tooltip (~60%), but if I slot additionally CP my tooltip goes up for the "frozen damage increase" from CP making the difference much more worse
So both of us were correct. Disintegrate not giving the normal Damage and additionally CP is increasing the tooltip as well.
Too bad its not doing its proper damage.
That being said, the damage from disintegrate is below the tooltip damage on a low health target, unless you have stacks of arcane (& frozen with CP slotted).

Description of Defect
The Control Wizard power Disintegrate does not do the damage listed for it. Instead it does somewhere between 40% and 60% of the damage it’s supposed to do based on the power’s description. This was tested with a level 70 Spellstorm Control Wizard. I respec’d and selected no feats or boons. I removed all gear except for the elemental artifact weapon and had no companions active.
Expected Result
The expected result here is that all damage rolls would be between 12980 and 15694 points, which would result in an average around 14337.
Observed Result
The damage from Disintegrate fell in a range from the mid-7000s to the very low 8000s. The average damage was 7769.618. Based on the listed expected range, this is 45.81% less than it should be. Target Dummies have no mitigation, so this is not caused by the target’s defense.

Wait... what? That doesn't make any sense. Why would damage be reduced by 50% against a stationary target with no buffs and no defense, as opposed to a moving target that does have mitigation and any number of other buffs? The actual damage values can't be compared since in my test I had no gear and no feats of any kind to boost damage - a fully geared and built character will have any possible number of buffs, from it's own build and from their teams, along with debuff on the target. Just because a Disintegrate does nearly 100K damage doesn't mean it didn't do 50% what it's supposed to have done on that hit... I can't really say what the team composition was or what your friend's build was that might have contributed to that level of damage, all I can see from that image is that he's an MoF and that there was a paladin in the group, but I can say, by isolating disintegrate so that neither the target nor myself were under the influence of any buffs or debuffs, disintegrate clearly does around half the damage it's supposed to do based on the label.
