Example, a Juggernaut and Arsenal Merc nuking a target would both have a stack of 20% armor reduction active, reducing the target's armor by 40%. That discussion sorta trailed across several threads, so I may have missed where this was disproved, but if not, will this be added to Simc?

Sure we'll add that to SimC, there is no reason why we should arbitrarily choose not to. Just as always, as much data as possible or confirmations from a multitude of sources is very much appreciated to have a solid empirical confirmation that something works as proposed.

A good example is the double-dip removal of 1.2. Uncritical as I am I just disabled the double-dip in simcraft for ptr mode and then Casey came along asking if there is a confirmation of the whole thing or if its just speculation.
I had to admit it is pure speculation, extrapolated from the statement of a developers in this Q&A that they will remove the double dipping for the Conveyance/Force Bending buff ( Heal spec ). To be honest, that really isn't a solid ground to forcebly disable double-diping in SimC. ( But of course we can do simulations for itand look at how dps changes without double-dip, the point is that we can't be certain that it will be that way. )
