I don't have any straw puppy numbers handy, but at Saddur my (not full T4) necro reaches slightly above 2600 DPS, while allowing self-inflicted damage and Death's Channel pushes the DPS above 2900. I think most of the myths of necro's OP dps comes from this very fact that some parsers do not subtract out self-inflicted damage.
