GWF with twice as many hits

I'm a 15k GWF and I use ACT after every battle (VT in particular here). I usually do ~7,000 EncDPS but I came across another GWF (17k) who was geared up and doing ~11,000 DPS. He somehow had 3 times as many hits as I did, something ridiculous like 14,000 hits and did 2.5 times as much damage, even though I did twice as many crits (I have a pvorp he had a pplague).
He took 1.5M damage to my 1M so he was able to go unstoppable more often and therefor have more hits but how is it possible to get up to ridiculous numbers of hits like that? That's far more than I've ever seen for a GWF. And we were using pretty much the same powers. He put three 15.5k CWs to shame by more than 2,000 DPS and 3 times the hits as well.
Steroids? PCP? Both?

Like 10k GS vs 15k GS and he didn't even have a weapon enchant.
I mean, even if i sucked and he was uber-pro at PvE, the gear difference alone would not allow such a huge DPS difference. So i guess it's something similar to what you described.
That was so weird, and i'm super-curious now. I want to know the secret!
Because that'd explain a lot of the "hits" difference. Plus VT is a good dungeon for out-damaging CWs, because the major bossfight is essentially entirely single target.
I'm pretty sure they do. Other than that: What encounters did you use and what encounters did that guy use? Furthermore, was he IV or SM?
Also to you, pando83
I'm curious, how did so much of your damage come from Sure Strike alone?
What about Wicked Strike?
Either ways, I'm positive that a PC setup would even outperform that. That was my first guess and why I asked which encounters you both used.
Edit: Well, it all doesn't matter. This is a thing of the past now :-)
Dude... he was using AOE attacks and you were sticking mostly to single targets. It's pretty obvious how he was doing so much more damage.
More hits = more crits = more deep gash ticks.
yeah smart use of ibs could give huge dps boost also wicked strike used to be wicked before on instigator
*: depending on debuffs etc, numbers of 5k+ a tick on 15+ mobs weren't too rare to witness in a CN/yolo pull run.
He probably had more aggro from mobs on him, which means his determination was filling up faster, hence more unstoppable.
You're going to have to eventually accept one of these explanations as the truth, otherwise you're defending your own poor performance with an excuse that is tantamount to "sunspots" or "gremlins".
