65 Raids parse very similar to Live on TGC. I agree the farther you go down the worse we scale but even at the lower levels it's honestly not that bad. It also needs to be stated that the era we are currently on cannot be parsed because it no longer exists on Live. So, we approximate. As it's been said above, you need hundreds of combat parses to form a true data set. A handful of battles will not do, because that same battle may play out much differently each time you try it. It's really a big picture type situation.
Combat sadly simply cannot just be fixed. Sony overcomplicated it, and so it's more a slow progression to dial in on the right formulas. KLS did a lot of that a while back, but really he got combat to a place that is really close, especially considering that we have probably a hundred or so rules that can be adjusted on the fly to tweak it further. I'm not saying there isn't room for improvement, there most certainly is. But, I wouldn't call combat broken, either.
You can't compare P1999 to EQEmu. They are emulating a much earlier time with a far less complicated combat system. Even if they provided their source/rules, I am sure much of it would be irrelevant to EQEmu.
But, as I mentioned above we do have tons of rules that govern a lot of areas in combat. If your C++ skills are limited you may be able to look into them to start tweaking. The rules can be changed and reloaded on the fly, without even restarting the server so it's pretty ideal. If you find values that you feel are closer, please share. Also, I am the first to admit NPC stats are off in the DB. We just don't have enough data to correct them all, since the important ones are hidden to the player.
