Those can be attributed to 2 things
1) lag - when my Hermit is laggy, damage I see doesn't match damage done. Like it's way way off (I see 12k, monster takes 5k) MS sends packets to synchronize the random number generators, but if you're laggy they can desync and you see crits when the server didn't and vice versa.
2) HP bar is messed up - about 10-15% of the monster's HP is left when it runs out of "green" in the bar.
