Currently, Blade Flurry (and I suspect most cleave abilities) are effected by armor twice when they should not be.
13741/84=163.6 from normal melee attacks (3 dodges). 8964/84=106.7 from blade flurry. 106.7/163.6=0.652
Current armor reduction calculation: 6708-1162=5546, 5546/(10557.5+5545)=.344, 1-.344=0.6556, virtually the same if you account for rounding errors in damage calcs.
Without any armor penetration on my items:
2350/20=117.5 from normal melee attacks. 1477/20=73.85 from blade flurry, 73.85/117.5=0.628
Current armor reduction calculation: 6708-560=6148, 6148/(10557.5+6148)=0.368. 1-0.368=0.632. This shows that the blade flurry damage is closely related to the armor reduction, which it should not be.
The way it should be: Blade Flurry (and most cleaves I believe) was a 100% duplication of the before armor damage on the primary target. If an attack does 2179 dmg before armor on the first, it should do 2179 dmg before armor on the 2nd target. Wowwiki says "Patch 1.10.0 (28-Mar-2006): The additional attacks generated by this ability will now properly take into account the armor of the second target." (http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/Blade_Flurry). This does not mean that they should count the armor twice like it currently does
