Arc With Lightning Pen and Conductivity?

Alright so i really want to know how much total dps im doing if im doing 7030 tooltip dps with Arc. Lightning Pen ofc isnt ruled into the tooltip dps. Im wondering if im doing this math correctly. So if we are talking about a 0 lightning resist monster, ideally you would do (say my lightning pen gem was lvl 18 with 33% lightning pen) 33% more damage? So if this would be that case would you do 7030 * 0.33 = 2319.9. So with the lightning pen gem alone against a 0 lightning resist monster would that mean i would do 9349.9 DPS? Then this is where Conductivity cones into play. I did some research and figured out at lvl 19 conductivity adds +38% reduced lightning resistance. so if i were to cast my ball lightning with curse on hit, GMP, and conductivity linked to it and then started casting Arc to figure that math (9349.9 * 0.38 = 3552.962)would i do 12902.862 DPS?
I won't comment on math but I believe you are correct about your tool tip being quite a bit higher because of lightning penetration plus conductivity.

And another question. to figure out how much life leech i can leech per second do i take my tooltip dps or the DPS including lightning penetration provided by conductivity and lightning pen gem? I want to know if i have capped life leech per second because i seen somewhere that you can only leech 20% of your hp in 1 second (http://gyazo.com/341ee47d71d63fc26f72c35af7f171e0) which for me is 821.8. and i can leech a total of 10.5% for my arc, which means if it went off of my tooltip DPS it would leech 760.347(tooltip DPS being 7241.4) but if it life leeched including the lightning penetration dmg it would leech 2658.17(DPS including all the lightning penetration being 13290.87) omitting the 20% max hp life leech p/s rule.
Your damage calculation for a 0 resist monster is off.
Reductions of resist stack additively.
Your 0 resist monster would in the end have -71 resist.

DPS = 7030 * 1,71 = 12021,3

Also, Arc being the crazy spiky spell that it is, vs packs you leech at a LOT more than your stated DPS (since leech is PER HIT, and the biggest one of all gets to heal you). Downside is unreliably Leech vs Single targets.

Let's say your Damage Per Cast is 5-4000, realistic numbers, SOMEONE will take 3000+ if you hit 7 targets.
