Old Blast: 1476.332% = 1757.5%/s
New Blast: 1633.8% = 1945%/s

It would be nice to see how you got those figures, because they are not making any sense no matter how I divide them out (except DPS figures, those make sense if the base % was right).
And the situation that those figures would apply would be nice to see, too.
Now, here are my calculations, the Dual Charging mechanism is the one that Stereo had proposed after experimentation, Dual Charging assumes that Dual Charging is still available:
.324:
Blast - 700%
ACB - 460%
Holy Charge - 145%
Lightning Charge - 130%
.326:
Blast - 3x280% = 840%
ACB - 460%
Holy Charge - 135%
Lightning Charge - 125%
Blast (Holy Charge only, Neutral):
.324 = 700% * 145% = 1015% = 1208.333...%/s
.326 = 840% * 135% = 1134% = 1350%/s
Blast (Dual Charging, Holy, Both Neutral):
.324 = 700% * (145% + 15%) = 1120% = 1333.333...%/s
.326 = 840% * (135% + 12.5%) = 1239% = 1475%/s
ACB (Holy Charge only, Neutral):
.324 = 460% * 145% = 667% = 1111.666...%/s
.326 = 460% * 135% = 621% = 1035%/s
ACB (Dual Charging, Holy, Both Neutral):
.324 = 460% * (145% + 15%) = 736% = 1226.666...%/s
.326 = 460% * (135% + 12.5%) = 678.5% = 1130.8333...%/s
In comparison, Heroes:
.326 (Assuming 10% for each orb) = 210% * 3 * 2.0 = 1260% = 1500%/s
.326 (Assuming 10% for the last 5 orbs) = 210% * 3 * 1.75 = 1102.5% = 1312.5%/s
It just makes Blast have a 23.333...% DPM advantage over ACB as compared to the 8% before, at normal 6, and make Paladins weaker when mobbing (compared to .324), but seeing as mobbing is what we usually do, the the decrease in mob DPH, and DPM, can prove be detrimental.
IMO, though, Blast should at least have 1.5x the DPM of ACB, since it is a single target skill after all.
Though, as I've stated, this isn't really my main concern.
My main concern is that...
BLAST SHOULD NOT HIT MORE THAN ONCE, WHAT KIND OF BLAST HITS SOMETHING 3 TIMES?
