Perhaps the amount of ticks dropped is affected by alacrity like the old sniper bug with Series of Shots (that was recently fixed). Gosh that would be a nightmare to implement in simcraft if that was indeed the case.

There's a variance of 100 dps in the 5th - 95th percentile, and that's with the default sim setting to always use the median value for an ability so it comes down to % procs and crits. The actual variance is much larger which you could see if you turn that off.

If you want to come up with actual answers instead of speculating, run the sim with log=1 and compare it against your own combat log. That will quickly determine if your theory has any basis in reality.
