I would greatly appreciate if I could get some help from those players who love maths regarding to the following issue.
We all know how bad Deep Gash has become but I was able to reach 12.3k power without any kind of buff so at this point perhaps the feat isn't so bad, it would be 2500 dmg in 6 seconds per mob (even more including buffs like pots, aow set bonus, etc), that's usually the time you take to clear some groups of adds.
Our at-wills are the main source of damage according to ACT so removing 10% more dmg maybe isn't a good idea but these at-wills doesn't have high damage, i.e wicked strike 1200 - 10% so 120 for 5 points?? Let's say with DG I hit 5 adds, 2500 x 5 = 12500, wouldn't this be more dmg in 6 secs than 6 wicked strike (feated) within the same period of time? Thing is Wicked Strike can crit and hits harder on debuffed enemies while DG cant, there are too many variables here.
Do you think is wise to spend 5 points in Deep Gash instead of Great Weapon Focus?
Did you parse yourself? If so, I would go to ptr when I had an arcane reservoir up....gather and kill all mobs at the end with one spec. change feats rinse and repeat a few times with the new spec. This isn't the best way to test, I'm sure but in a world with a huge amount of variables it isn't bad and it's fairly quick.

then these 120k ...
Yes, checking with in the Arcane Reservoir might be good idea.
