6,549 damage over 93 seconds = 70.5 DPS

This is 70.5 DPS to a froglok jin shaman in Sebilis just using a 50% hasted Spirit of the Howler pet and Bane of Nife + Envenomed Bolt. The pet is not max level. He is hitting for 47, so that is a lower end pet (max is 52, each level increases damage by 2). No need to root/rot with this setup in a group, and the DoTs only last 7 or 8 ticks.

A single set of Bane of Nife + Envenomed Bolt costs 745 mana. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjZxMlJSCDc using this video, it looks like you can Torpor recover mana at around 14 mana per second. If you include C2, it is more like 16 mana per second. This means you can recover the 745 mana in 46 seconds. That is easily the length of a fight if Enchanters are fighting 2 mobs with charmed pets. This means the DPS is generally sustainable too.

Troxx's Mage was averaging 80 DPS based on the data he has given. An Epic Mage could do 104 DPS based on the data he has given.

To set the root/rotting method straight, this example is root/rotting three mobs in one room while the two Enchanters are killing in another room. Epic + Pox + Paralyzing Earth on 3 mobs costs 1600 mana. The DPS is (1425 + 2088) / 108 seconds = 32.5 DPS per mob. I can recover that mana in 100 seconds if you read how quickly a Torpor Shaman can recover mana in the quote above. This means I could do 97.5 DPS, not including my pet. Based on the logs above, the pet is adding another 15 DPS. So a Shaman could do 110 DPS roughly with this method, and recover all of the mana by the time the DoTs expire. This is above Troxx's standard 80 DPS, and the 104 DPS if we use a Mage Epic Pet instead. Again, Epic Mages are quite rare, so I wouldn't be expecting that DPS most of the time when a Mage joins your group.

Sadly Mage DPS isn't anything special at level 60. It is why most Mages end up being CoTH bots.
