Damage per interval is just about the same as damage per second. DPS uses the interval of 1 second to calculate your overall damage as you fight. This is mainly used in MMORPGs as a verb - to "DPS" an opponent is to inflict the maximum damage possible in the shortest time or as a noun, to describe a class which has a particularly high DPS.

and just in case you wanted to know how to find out your DPS the formula is this:

Damage / (Activation Time + Recharge) = Damage per Second
