Query in regards to monk's ranged attacks

Basically, how do the Monk's ranged attacks work?

If the DPS is 1000, does that mean that a weapon with 4/s with x1 shots, is that 250 a shot four times a second, and similarly would a 4/s with x5 shot mean each orb is 50?

I did some testing, at this seemed to be the case, but I want someone to give some confirmation, especially if it's secondhand from Trendy.

Thanks so much!
