I don't know what the expected 1vs.1 %/s is, though, given 1.5% ignore def from ambition, 30% from threaten. I'm using a weapon speed this thread doesn't have (slow 7, 5 with booster)
The only thing to consider about this is that, if BGA is anything like he currently is in JMS, he Stuns like crazy. Now I don't know if you have any Stun Resistance, but it seriously hampers your time. ShiKage and I have been doing BGA for about a week now (daily), and we spend a lot of time on BGA because he just spams the crap out of Stun (There's a lot of time we're sitting there for 30-45 seconds just stunned after stunned, we get a single attack in then are stunned again).
It would explain why you do the same amount of damage between Fire and Ice charges, because you're actually taking longer to deal with A due to the Stun.
About the same numbers thing: That's been a weird glitch that's been around since the original Big Bang patch (even in KMS, I remember seeing it on my Paladin back then). I'm not exactly sure how it's dealt with though...if you're truly doing exactly the same damage three times, or if it's just a display glitch. An idea (I could attempt as well), would be to use Blast on enemies you miss frequently (Like something 5-10 levels above you), but NOT a boss. Watch the Health, and we can see if, when the damage shows the same, if the Health bar goes down by a normal amount. If there's misses involved and it's a display glitch, then the Health of the enemy wouldn't go down nearly as much as it should.
You say in your post you've only seen it on bosses....did they fix it for normal enemies? My idea wouldn't work then. Back when I experienced this in KMS it occurred on everything. I haven't leveled Blast much on my JMS Paladin, and as a result I don't use it so I have no idea if it's only present on bosses now.
