I don't understand whether to include the 20 att boost from Energy Charge. Is it passive, or does it only activate when the bar is full? That creates a lot of problems in calculating DPS, because 20 att makes a big difference on damage. Nor do I have any idea whether Energy Orb or Energy Drain should be included in my calculations. Also, the data says there is a STR bonus from Transform, but I haven't seen that bonus in screenshots of Buccaneers.
Taking energy charge out of time picture completely, are you using apples or warrior elixers normally? If apples (though it doesn't look like you are because the numbers seem low in the end) you don't have to include the 20 att boost at all because it never comes into play. Include it if you're using warrior elixers, or any other pot under 20 attack.
The boost only comes into effect when the bar is full, and energy is charged/attacks become available.
I'm not sure how much time it takes for the bar to fill on a single target, but i think it's safe to say 50% of the time. In that 50%, you can easily replace barrage/DU and barrage/DS with barrage/orb, because orb is much much faster and does more damage. I would do the damage for drain and orb for now, and modify it later if bui figures out the speed values. o.o
The str bonus doesn't exist at all, by the way.
Edit: Interesting...SI seems to have the same/higher damage boost that SE does. Oh wait, that's obvious. >_<
