I am having the same issue

That's fine and no one is saying not to see where you can improve or tweak things. However after reading through this entire thing, it shows how seriously flawed his thoughts are on what consitutes valid testing of circumstances and mechanics. He has intentionally picked instances and setups that wouldn't realistically happen in a raid environment. He has tried to use logs of 2 different raids that can not be equally comparable given gear differences across the board, fight lengths, etc and then says "See there is my proof". These are the types of posts that lend credence to why people think he is a troll.

So let me get this straight killerduki 34 intellect is the reason why Rukutuku did double bezawit's dps on nefarian. It had nothing to do with the first fight lasting 102 seconds while the second was 325 seconds.......

Just wow. Again that isn't a realistic way to theorycraft. It is quite baffling that you refuse to acknowledge this is an extremely flawed way to theorycraft. As some other people have stated take a gear list then compare the additions of 1 sp vs 1 intellect and then compare that would give you a more accurate idea of stat weighting. The whole notion that someone is going to walk into a raid with all +shadow dmg gear with no int is laughable.

You apparently really have an issue understanding english or real applications of theorycrafting. While he did the theorycraft to your specifications, that isn't a realistic scenario so it was a cherry picked version of an impossible and improbable scenario. You can not realistically believe that someone is going to have 500 spell dmg and 0 int on gear in progression raiding, it just isnt the natural gear progression To reiterate Look at the figures again. Int only wins when you don't use consumables, or you don't use consumables and you don't spec for meditation or have raid buffs. Neither of these sets of circumstances actually happen in game. Re-read your point 9. That in no way proves that int directly outweighs spell power. All it proves is that there is an interaction between the 2 and that you can not theorycraft in that way to prove anything. It is an absolute extreme circumstance that would not occur.
