I didn't say JBB was necessary to kill mobs. That doesn't make it useless. No Shaman racial item gives you the ability to kill a specific mob that you normally couldn't. This means you simply need to look at which racial item gives you the most use comparatively.
When it comes to leveling, JBB can take you from 45-60 if you don't have Epic. Claiming it is only good from 45-51 is nonsensical.
Spamming a manaless clickie nuke like JBB is more efficient than using your mana DoTs to kill mobs. It's the same reason why Epic is a good leveling tool.
Spamming JBB is 32 DPS, and a hasted level 55 pet is roughly 17 DPS. Epic DoT is almost 16 DPS. Pet + JBB spam is the equivalent of Epic DoTing 3 mobs at a time. Just like using Epic to DoT mobs, this strategy is manaless in terms of the DPS.
Without Epic, root rotting three mobs at a time takes a minimum of 300 mana for roots, and 320 mana x 6 = 1920 mana for Dots. That is 2220 mana per 3 mobs.
JBB spam + pet + slow + face tanking costs 250 mana per mob, and some damage taken per mob. That is 750 mana total, and some damage.
If Troxx wants to show JBB becomes useless 51+, they need to show a more efficient strategy in terms of DPS vs. mana/hp spent for leveling. As per usual, Troxx is unwilling and probably unable to do this.
When you hit level 60, JBB is still a good tool. It saves you mana when clearing trash mobs in lower level dungeons. It is a good way to finish a mob at 2 or 3 percent instead of wasting the mana on a fresh DoT. It provides free damage in long fights when all debuffs and dots have been applied.
