Ahh we went the misinterpretation route. On a 30s fight you'd use clicky once then maybe 1 regular faster cast nuke. You don't have to stick to 1 method the whole time. Dots would still be useless on a fight that short and would be stuck doing JBB but you could mix and match boots of bladecalling with a shock of steel depending on how fast things are dying and get higher DPS than the strictly regular nuke DPS number.

It's not misinterpretation. He simply didn't read the whole thing and cherry picked two numbers.
You wouldn't want to mix mana nukes and boots of bladecalling. You would lose 4 ticks of meditate (80 mana) per 24 seconds (17 clickie cast + 6 second Shock of Steel cast). That means you are spending 328 mana per Shock of Steel essentially, while only getting back 110 from clarity 2 + 100 from meditate over 5 ticks. You would be out of mana after 30 mobs. This is assuming you can perfectly meditate between two mobs.
Shamans can mix and match spells/clickies due to Torpor. Shamans can also increase how much they nuke if you want to go down the route of draining mana for more DPS.
