Warning, long post ahead...
I don't understand what problems you're referring to with the parser. I tend to compare my log with what shows on the parser from fight to fight and don't see any discrepancies. That being said, I'm looking for a new memloc so it'll be easier to post the series of WS and crits based on the attachment setup. ie. coilers vs dynamo.
Automaton Harlequin/Valoredge solo WS test on Apex Bats
Used Kenkonken to avoid overloads due to not swapping gear.
Did not switch to Ohtas to avoid parameter changes.
Parameters are pre-maneuver buffs. No Earth to effect VIT.
Gearing situation will be equal between both Automaton builds to focus on attachment effects
The Automaton's VIT/ATT/DA/CRIT Herculean set is not being used for the obvious reasons.
You also have to keep in mind that no WS in the game says it can DA in the description...yet..
On to the results.

All gear in this test buffs the master.
Only gear buffs to Automaton come from:
Taliah Manteel +1 - Accuracy+40
Animator P+1 - Attributes +20
Visucius's Mantle - Lv +1 (Augmented for master)
Slower process with Flame Holder and no Automaton gear.
Bone Crusher's w/ any light/wind maneuvers intentionally excluded from the following tests.

You still don't clearly see any advantage of DA or CHR in any of the tests thus far.
Now I'll show AM3 testing which should give the advantage to DA, though of course. I'll be testing between Coilers or Dynamo again.
Again...gear built for master.
Oddest part of these following tests is the DPS. Which is largly due to having to reapply fire maneuvers resulting in slower ws rates.

Now comes the AM3 + VIT/ATT/DA/CHR Tests which will not be convincing to the rest of you. But blatantly obvious to me.
This test will have Overload/Maneuver+ gear sapped in as necessary, but will always have VIT set on for Bone Crusher.

Maybe you'll chop it up to coincidence maybe it's crits. All I can say is, I've been getting better results as of late using Dynamo attachments when burning mobs down.
Play as you will, just know that I shared my experience with these.
