How reliable are tooltips for actual damage?

I've been playing around on the PTS with a sorcerer and the champion point system. I'm curious how reliable the tooltips are in determining damage output.
For example, when I put 100 points into EE and 0 into Thurmaturge, the damage value for every skill I looked at is X. When I go 50/50, the damage goes up significantly for every skill. Whether I go 60/40 or 40/60, the damage value goes to the exact same value somewhere in between.
Is the damage value in the skills menu reliable? I would have expected non-DoT skills to be significantly higher with 100 in EE and 0 in Thurmaturge. Are all the sorcerer skills DoTs (Pet damage, Shards, LL, Mages Wrath, etc)?

✭It is reliable for DoTs and not reliable for non-DoTs. Thaumathurge and Elemental Expert affect the tooltip of both DoTs and non-DoTs but damage logs will show that DoTs are affected by both but non-DoTs are only affected by Elemental Expert.Reference for any calculation I make Introduction to PvE Damage Calculation2
