From what I understand the Plasma Gun's DPS continues to rise until it overheats and then falls back down and starts over again. No the DPS does not calculate downtime as a result from over heating. This is identical to the Dire Avenger's weapons which also overheat but are not calculated in their DPS. You wouldn't want it to be calculated either as it would cause more confusion than it'd prevent.
Edit: "Identical" might be confusing. Dire Avenger's guns do not raise in DPS as they shoot, but they do overheat in the same way as plasma guns.
