I had a feeling that superheated rail (30% arp) and puncture (60% arp) don't stack. i had a spec with both talents and respecced thermal detonator at 40 for some pvp funsies.
Now i'm 41 and i tested the following:

Railshot tooltip damage: 769 - 912 -> avg. 840.5

against normal lvl 36/37 mobs in quest. other talent affecting damage: rain of fire (+3% dam), firebug (+30% crit damage)

damage with superheated rail only: 30% arp.
normal: 825, 895, 796, 895, 854, 771, 882, 773, 733, 794 -> avg 821.8
crit: 1623
glance(?): 511

superheated rail + 1 point puncture: 50% arp.
normal: 863, 872, 831, 888, 820, 893, 887, 860, 797, 876 -> avg. 858.7
crit: 1602, 1677

It seems to work as intended. (I know, the number of test are statisticly not significant)
would still be very interesting if someone could do the same at lvl 50. take a (merc) healer buddy, start a duel and railshot away. so we could calculate the % increase of the arp. talents.
