Alot of the DPS comparisons only compare cannon with TT or SoA or brandish. The octopus turrents are never accounted for.
With Cannon, Corsairs are stronger without Octo. The main reason I haven't included Octo in my calculations is that I have no idea how long it takes to cast it and how fast it attacks, not to mention figuring out exactly how much it would impact DPS would be difficult, since you can summon more than one at a time (and it doesn't cooldown in exactly 10 seconds, or I'd be able to constantly put out 3 Octopi, when in reality the first disappears almost as soon as the third comes out), and it's not always beneficial to Octo as soon as possible.
Even the way I calculate something as simple as Snipe isn't fully accurate. Cooldowns make things very difficult.
