Wait, isn't DOT stackative ? If yes then it's more complex to actually calculate it :

Example : We have an imaginary ( Premium for it's OP dps sake ) HIKS Thermincinerator :

Let's say it deals 1000 damage per shot and shoots 10 times per second and has 1000 DOT over 10 seconds for simplicity sake.

One may be tempted to do "(Damage+DOT) * ROF"

but actual formula ( if stackative ) should be :

Single DPS ( at DOT climax point ) = "(Damage + DOT*DOT_DURATION)*ROF"

Which is a factorized version of Damage * ROF + DOT *DOT_DURATION*ROF

Correct me if I'm wrong please ^^ It's just I've heard it stacked cumulatively.. and ticks every seconds.
