Broodlings should still be about the same dps as master 1 Distortion, even with those stats - as long as you get the full duration on the broodlings. And if there are multiple mobs, then it shoots way up.
Are you sure you calculated efficiency correct? Of course, there's a possibility I didn't either.

I found out just now I was using the warlock's crit instead of 1% crit rate in my calculations... I could have something else wrong.... But SD still applies because the first hit is a DOT that does have INT/SD mods, they just don't modify the broodling damage.
I'm getting a total average damage of 6897 with 1% crit, only modifying the DOT for INT and SD, and with only the initial hit for the DOT (no ticks) then 9 attacks of the broodlings. Final dps efficiency depends on cast time and recovery haste. If the broodlings only average 4 hits each, then efficiency drops to between dissolve and encase.
EDIT: That was with broodlings only at A3... M1 shows 7738 damage total - I'm assuming in those calcs that master 1 broodlings hit for 14.3% more than A3 (haven't tested that)
