I use Skada myself, and I have to admit that sometimes the numbers can feel a bit off. Maybe that's just because it reads the DPS differently than Recount, as Pao mentioned, but I will honestly sometimes get odd readings depending on what I'm doing as the fight is going on; for example, I've often seen that Skada won't start tracking output until I actually enter the fight, so if we have a few trash mobs where I'm slow to join the fray or have to go AFK, the resulting total damage done will be a bit skewed. It will also sometimes read oddly if I'm playing on my healer, or one of the ranged DPS is standing far away from me; Skada doesn't always seem to track players who are far enough away from me. That said, however, these might be issues Recount also deals with.
