all depends on your weapon, your traits, your legacies and your relics. It also depends on the mob, the damage type and the random number generator. Grouped burgs, captains and minis also contribute to your damage.
A more accurate gauge of your performance is your dps... compare it to people you regularly group with (comparing to uber l33t pimped out raiderz is not good for your self confidence). If you're on par with the other pure dps classes, and you're completing the content you attempt, then you're doing fine.
if yo really wanna know: my maximum hit with Remorseless Strike (beyond Draigochs Lair!!) was about 27k on Saruman.
Though you should mention, that apart from various Raid Buffs on you and Debuffs on Saruman, you probably also took benefit from the DMG buff from one of the rings (guess it's the fire ring, though I'm not too sure about that).

As I said above, the buff from the fire ring doesn't increase damage, it increases the amount of devs to 25% dev change.

One of the rings puts up a tiering corruption (tiers up 3 times) which, when removed, puts an incoming damage modifier on the mob. I don't remember the exact modifier on the debuff but it's definitely significant.
Intelligent groups time this with skills like oathbreakers, to arms, the LM incoming damage debuff (the name escapes me) and the various damage CDs individual DPS classes can use; in our case the LG pocket clicky, CBR, a fervour pot, helm dev mag proc and CB with the 4 set PvP bonus. You also have the constant things like telling mark, captain's sure strike debuff with the new PvP set, the various armour debuffs classes can use if they play properly, revealing marks from however many burgs are in the raid and minstrel buffs.
Hence if you actually stop and think about the amount of things which are in place in a well synchronised raid to buff damage output; the aforementioned hit becomes entirely possible.
Edit: I forgot to mention that the assumption that your experience with your build represents the pinnacle of potential is, frankly, laughable.

Hmm ... still don't know if this number is that far out of reach when things line up perfectly (Ballad of War, Blade Brother, To Arms, Limlight Clicky, Threkkappi Helmte procc, Oathbreakers, Fervour Pot, Captain Moors Set inc DMG debuff on the mob, stacking burgs, LM armor debuff, maybe bear pet debuff, armor rend procs from other players' weapons, +susceptibility debuff from other players' weapons and whatever I may have forgotten here). I managed to hit 13k with a 1H Sword (without being blade brothered, just one burg, no threkkappi helm, no dev mag settings, no captain moors set, no oathies, nor fervour pot, no limlight clicky, I didn't even have the limlight set by that time, no special debuffs etc.) - under perfect circumstances this could have been a lot higher. So I don't see 27k with a 2H to be out of reach under perfect (or almost perfect circumstances).

I'm sorry but I don't believe that.
On draigoch you have at the end incoming damage + 100% for melee. Then on top of all that you have buffs and burgs etc.
I've gone completely full glass canon, first ager and everything to time and so far, and as far as I've seen, I've had one of or THE biggest hits on Draigoch which was 28.4K.
I've gone full glass canon on Saruman fight and I've been extremely lucky to hit 19.7K.
I call this lying because,
1, you don't get incoming damage on Saruman unlike Draigoch.
2, the buff from the fire ring only gives a % to devastate more. It doesn't increase the magnitude of crits or devs so they're not hitting any harder.
3, I doubt you'd of stacked more than 2 or at complete most 3 burgs purely because of the fight.

I thought there was a +25% dev magnitude on the fire buff, as well as a +25% crit magnitude.
That hobbit you just called fat? He's skipping 2nd breakfast.
The dwarf woman you called ugly? She spends hours braiding her beard so you can differentiate her from a dwarf man.
The Uruk-Hai you just killed? he's been abused by Saruman.
See that Gollum creature with the gangly limb and large eyes? For 500 years the ring poisoned his mind.
That elf you just made fun of for crying? She just lost her wizard friend to a Balrog.
Put this as your signature if you're against bullying in Middle-earth!
I only dual wield on my champ, typically I hit between 500-1500 per attack and around 3k on a crit remorseless strike. My might is only around 1500 as I don't like my other stats to suffer too much
