Why are none of these spells/items included in your astounding little math formula, since you claim at various points in the thread to be casting them regularly for the benefit of the group? Every time you stop to cast one of these spells and deviate from your Bane/E-bolt/canni/Torpor dance the Mage continues to chainsaw DPS mana-free. To even remain in the same ballpark with him you can literally only cast those four spells, and you require they always tick for full duration. You simply have an autistic obsession with the Shaman class and cannot admit that their excellent solo, duo and small group performance does not translate to them being a group DPS class or being especially useful in the specific context of joining a group with an existing Enc/Enc/Clr lineup.
