Ok, so I've been testing out a full Multistrike build on my ele. For those of you who don't know, the way Multistrike works in PvP is you only have 1 roll on it mutlistriking instead of two. At the moment, in PvP combat I have 68.02% multistrike with this gear. Ele also recieves an additional roll from crit chance (13.23% in PvP Combat). This is ~81% multistrike chance.
After extensive testing, in duels, in arenas, in skirmishes I have not ever seen it break 50% Multistrike on Lava Burst.
Now, obviously with the roll being nerfed from having ((68.02% x 2) + 13.23%) to (68.02% + 13.23%) you're going to lose quite a bit of multistrikes right? I mean that's fine, totally understandable. What I dont understand is multistriking so close to 40% of the time, and nothing more or less really. Over hundreds of trys against multiple targets, the best I've seen in this gear is ~48%.
The way lava burst works, you also roll another multistrike from your crit chance. This means that I have over 80% Multistrike chance on Lava Burst in PvP.
If I sit down and attack my garrison pvp dummy, I typically have over 120% multistrike on my lava burst on that dummy as it can roll twice, and a third time from crit.
Now, attacking a PLAYER however?
Its barely ever breaking 40%.
Here are some logs just to illustrate what it looks like hitting a player vs hitting a dummy --
Player x3 ~ 40% each time.

Garrison PvP Dummy (PvE rules apply to dummy, just boosts PvP iLvL)

forgot to log on the dummy, but you get the gist.
I'm seeing these same spreads of numbers in Duels, Arenas, Skirmishes, BGs... Everything.
Like I said, I can understand being down a roll, but consistently multistriking at 40%, is ridiculous. I often have parses on dummy with over 150%. A low parse on dummy is 120-130%.
For reference, this is the gear I'm using on Ele

TL;DR
Consistently rolling almost exactly half of my multistrike chance in PvP, on only 1 roll.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but with my current stats and no multistrike or crit buff, my LvB should have ~a 27% chance to have both of its rolls multistrike, and a 8% chance to have neither of its rolls multistrike in PvP.
Yet over the course of hundreds of casts of LvB, I'm seeing rates of my LvB only MSing ~40% of the time. Oddly enough, thats almost exactly half the MS chance my LvB should actually have in PvP....
Seems like a big enough sampling size to conclude that something is very bugged.
