Please re-read my posts, because you are simply mistaken. My previous post has been my argument.
Since I am having a conversation with like 10 people, often times my posts may be missing context if you just read them in a vaccum.
If your group is playing correctly (which has been the assumption throughout this conversation), then you will DPS the same as if you were solo, because you are not losing DPS due to other player's mistakes.
If your group is not playing correctly, the DPS data you get will be skewed. Again, you could have 1000 data sets of people playing terribly, and it wouldn't reflect the actual DPS of the class.
Comparing one single set of group data for a Mage vs. a Shaman doesn't tell you much, unless you could somehow prove both groups played similarly. This is why you test DPS in a situation without outside variables. That shows your DPS ceiling, assuming the group is working correctly. This lets you know what the average DPS difference is between the two classes.

"What you don't understand is once you are in a group setting, there are too many variables out of your control that can skew the data"
"On P99 if I do 1350 damage solo, I will also do 1350 damage in a group against the same mob."
And now we're shifting to "If your group is playing
correctly" the DPS will be the same...so now you've created a vague standard to ensure your argument works. Got it.
