I know it was bugged and only x3, but did soe fix it and make it x4 recently? I just hit a mob for 4690 where I had trouble hitting for over 3k before with a 494max dmg lva. It's not a fluke b/c I hit a couple times for over 4300.

Interesting, I tested this out a little during lunch. Eventhough I only had a short period of time:
Using a 234 max dmg NS lance (no AP), I hit a kreetle (no kinetic resists) for over 1600 using ph3. This indicates that the multiplier is not 3x anymore.
234 * 1.86 (std melee multiplier) * 3 = 1305 max possible...but my combat log showed 1600.
More testing is needed.

Only time I hit for over 4k with hit3 was just after I KD them. Not sure if that counts, but it does certainly seem to do a bit more damage than hit 2 now and then.

Just saying that you've hit for 3k or 4k without any other information doesn't really help, nor is it an indication of anything. And hit3 always does more dmg than hit2. You need to calculate what the multiplier is. For a standing target:
(maximum expected combat log value) = 1.86 * (max weapon damage) * 1.25^(armor piercing value [012]) * (special multiplier)

i hit for 3500 average with my now broken 482 damage crafted lance 8(
now i hit for around 4k w/ my 2 550 damage lances
5k w/ my 850 damage lance
this is w/o a kd
kd w/ the 850 damage has reached 9500 in the combat log, which w/ ap that equals 14,843.75 damage, which i was proud of

I have a 492 crafted/sliced LVA.. was hitting for 4.8k on baz nitches today with ph2. This -was- with KD, but it seems higher than I've ever done...

I do like 3k on a storm trooper with polearmhit3 and I use a 108-380 dmg LVA.

I tested this out some last night with a max damage 284 crafted lance used against a plains piket walker lair. Using polearm hit 3 on this lair, I scored a maximum damage of 2101 and several hits in the 1600-1900 damage range. According to the formula listed previously, the maximum possible damage with a 284 lance is 2112 using polearm hit 3. It looks like the modifier may indeed be fixed, since the maximum I could have done with the x3 modifier using that lance is 1595.

Yes, but that shows up in the floaty numbers, this was directly from the combat spam tab.
