Lazy is perfectly valid, that's what makes mage's so special. They can send in a pet, drop 1 nuke, and sit, and be out dpsing the whole group basically. The shaman would have to sit there like a madman, foot on the gas 24/7, to maintain the insane mana cost of trying to dps with dots.

People in this thread have already said "show me an hour video of this". The only shamans that would actually keep this up, would be people like you trying to win an argument. A shaman is not holding 70 dps in a sustained xp group. They are clicking their jbb, lol.
A Shaman is always Canni/Torporing. If they aren't they are a bad Shaman. Your whole argument is "bad players DPS lower". That is true of a mage too.

It's a dumb argument to say "DPS matters, therefore bring a mage" while at the same time saying "I am fine with bringing a lazy player who is going to be DPSing extremely poorly because they can't be bothered to play right". If you are fine with bringing that lazy player, then DPS doesn't matter to you lol.
