Hello there.
Because for Molten Strike, the in-game shown DPS only takes into account the initial hit of the skill, not the projectiles at all.
PLEASE QUOTE ME IF YOU ARE EXPECTING A REPLY
even with pob it will show lower dps, because it doesn't factor in how many projectiles are hitting.

lets say you have each ball do 50,000 damage per hit. lets say you have 40% increased damage, which will bring the dmg to about 53,000 dmg (depending on some factors, but with my build the boost is about 3k dmg)

so lets say you have 12 projectiles. about 60% of those would hit. so 7.2 projectiles @ 53000.
or you could have 15 projectiles, 60% of that is 9 projectiles @50000.

7.2x 53,000 = 381,600
9x 50,000 = 450,000

this is why projectiles are good for molten strike, and any other build with projectiles that can get more
