Yeah, I've totally been there - bottom of the dps, but I show up high on the damage soaked, healed, etc. And I've spiked and flamed out by the unlucky dodge into the damage aura that wasn't displayed or being the poor unlucky sot to get the 'x is about to explode' several times in a row. (Oh how I hated Molten Core)
Since everyone isn't in combat the same amount of time (via positioning, when they have to wait to engage, on FIRE, or whatever) the DPS and total damage scales are going to be different.
Sometimes this is fair; someone pulled aggro and died, someone was too far away, someone wasn't using the right attacks. Sometimes this isn't fair; they got more debuffs, the healer on their side got nuked or lagged off, it's a fight that favors a type of damage or makes the melee run around like crazy while the ranged doesn't have to move... Etc.
