Malygos Power Spark buff and dots

I have been wondering for a while if the damage buff we gain when standing in the Power Spark aura applies to dots or not, so I decided to find out for sure. 

Short answer: it does. 

I used wowwebstats.com to find out. The filter is unit="rozz" and spell="rupture" and you can see the result here.

In case the URL is not working, I pasted the trace below. In short, my initial Ruptures tick in the 700-900 range. Then they jump to 1628 (I believe we had two sparks stacked then), then drop to 1345 (probably down to one spark) and back to 900. 

I also tried wowmeteronline.com but 1) the event log browsing is broken and 2) it reports DPS that are half(!) those of wowwebstats.com. Has anyone else tried to update the same report to both sites to compare? 

The bottom line is that you can keep using your regular rotation while standing in a spark aura, unlike some other fights such as Loatheb (which only increases crits, so it doesn't make sense to use dots on this fight while you have the spore buff).
