Hello I did some testing with my lvl 50 Merc on mobs as well as in pvp and identified that the damage seems to be odd.
For the Merc (spec Thrust 39+ 12, DW 50 +12) the higest hitting styles should be flank and shadow rain, however the damage from flank is significant lower than the damage from dual shadows (around 25%). Dual shadow even outperforms shadows rain. It seems like flank and shadow rain damage is by far to low. It is infact compareable with the taunt style (inflame).
Please check the grwoth rate - if there is more testsing needed, I am happy to support.
Please find enclosed the overview of the grwoth rates as per patch 1.65d
Dual Shadows 0.80
Flank 0.85
Shadow's Rain 1.05
As I said, at the moment flank dies nearly the same damage as inflame wich should be around 0.60
