But! Using the first boss in EV has an example he has 982000 hp on normal mode how much of a DPS increase does Pyrotech see due to burnout on the last 30% of the fight?

In WoW, both warrior execute spam, and warlock drain soul were huge dps increases due to their execute style mechanics

Burnout is hard to quantify exactly, you can do approximations.

Periodic elemental damage are around 20% of the dps, increasing that by 30% you gain 6% extra dmg during the last phase. As it lasts only 30% of the time, is around 2% extra dmg over the total fight.

Also AP has higher mobility, and that's really hard to account for. Getting to the stuff you need to hit 1 or 2 seconds earlier is a big dps increase.
