BUT, you must remember the actual shot.
Each strafe is .72 second, each snipe is .72 seconds with 10 second inbetween. This means that there won't be an even number of strafes to fit 10 seconds.
First the snipe would be fired, so as soon as strafe is eligible fire, you're in .72s into the 10s cooldown time (9.28s left)
13 strafes is the closest number of strafes possible to allow another snipe.
This puts the total time now at 9.36+.72 = 10.08 seconds.
So 1 snipe and 13 strafes cycle is 10.08 seconds at maximum fire rate (with a macro). You may want to reconsider that in your calcs (as it would be closer to 10 seconds).
EDIT: I'm still having trouble matching your base calcs, tell me what I'm doing wrong:
{ [ (4897+5999)/2 * (1+2.4*.55)*4 ] } / .72
60/(83+1/3) = .72 O_o
Can't figure it out, that should be strafe base DPS 4897~5999.
I did it with 2k defense remember? So... {[(4897+5999)/2]-(defense*.55)}*(2000/24)*2.32*4/60
But I do admit I made some mistakes. It turns out I haven't updated my xbow calculator in quite a while so the defense formula was still at the old .5 for all and the number of Strafes/minute was off a little bit. I'm gonna fix it in the math post. Oh, and btw, I have Snipe at 199999 damage in case you were wondering. Thanks for asking though; I was able to catch the mistakes I made.
