Theoretically, given that Octopus shoots every 1530ms and lasts for 45000ms, one will output 13050%. It's the same as casting a skill that 13050% instant damage at 810ms (?) with a 10 second cool down. I don't see how it could possibly be a deficit.
Summon damage isn't directly added into the chars dps. This is how he's done all of his dps charts thus far.
As he explained earlier the deficit for turning octupus on is due to the lowered cannon shots per min because you are using that time to cast octupus.

He's simply confusing his values -- cut him some slack. Not that hard to see he meant drks hit the damage cap at 1m while heroes can hit over 1m with one intrepid slash because it is a 3-hit skill.
It's the same argument that used to exist about blast in pre-bb.
