Just looked at the ole Deepbit account, and over the life of my account, I have found 37 blocks.  Thus, I would expect to have mined approximately 1,850 BTC.

HOWEVER, I have only earned 1,453 BTC.  This seems like a huge disparity!  Have I just been insanely lucky, and expect my luck to get worse? 

Wish I had been solo mining.....

What holliday said, you most likely got above avg lucky on the pool and the other difference is the deepbit fee.

They you shouldn't have paid people 397BTC to do it. You are subsidizing that behavior.

Very nice. I think hopping works itself out eventually. People move to pools that don't use the vulnerable system and only pool hoppers use the ones where hopping helps and eventually give it up because everyone is doing it so it gets so little advantage compared to a set it and forget it pool.
