No argument there, but they also do not need a shaman’s worse dps, their slow, heals, roots, or really anything else.
Option 1: take the mage doing considerably more dps, can haste mask pets, can DS, can give mod rods, can situationally CoTH as needed, has a pet that can tank as well as most “tanks” with bad oh shit moments and pet breaks, and who won’t be ripping aggro and siphoning cleric mana.
Option 2: take the shaman who does considerably less dps, has redundant heals/utility you won’t need, will gank aggro like a magnet if played the way you previously described.

I am not sure what the problem is then.
We both agree the DPS is irrelevant, which means the argument for Mage DPS is off the table.
When talking about the other two points that were brought up way earlier in the discussion, Charm Break Safety and Malo, the Shaman wins in those departments.
Shamans can also tank and save the group mana. You would use Tola robes on pets, not masks. Damage shield is part of the DPS argument, which we agree is irrelevant.
You would only pick Mage over Shaman if you need CoTH, which everybody including myself already agrees upon.
