My impression is that it does sound about right
I paid approx AUD1,100 in taxes etc on my LLONE4 last October (from memory AUD505 was fuel fines for my AA flights being PER-SIN-NYC and BOS-LHR)
I presume the NZD has fallen against the major currencies about as much as the AUD has which will add extra cost.
Also you are entering the US twice, which is not a cheap exercise
And if your NRT-DFW and LAX-LHR flights are with AA, then you'll have fuel fines for them (~USD300?)
AA in Australia faxed me a breakdown my charges, so if you ask you should be able to get your breakdown.
