DPS Mount collars have less overall effect than on the tooltip due to stat loss - potential fix

If you check stats in a non-scaled area (which is where your %s are determined from before you move to a scaled area), then assuming your ratings are all white, when you add a collar your stats will all drop. This is due to the collar's IL being x2 the combined rating it gives to each stat (if they were the same figure, then the stats would stay the same.)
Checking with a level 4 collar, the amount of stats lost is 0.4-0.5 per stat. So for the 5 dps stats thats a total of 2-2.5 % of stat drop.
So e,g, for the collar that gives +4% to encounter damage, since only a portion of your damage comes from encounters, the loss in stat % will most likely cancel out any gain from encounter damage. And for the one that adds crit severity of 4%, you're only getting 1.5-2% of overall stat boost.
This seems like it needs reworked, especially with the cost of collars. Maybe things could switch round and the combined rating could be x2 the IL? This would make collars a much more tempting purchase, and even upgrading to mythic would look more attractive. So e.g. a mythic collar could have 500 IL, but give 1000 combined rating?
