2. Using your own calculation of 71 DPS on 5 dotted mobs, that is the equivalent of a max level water pet with full buffs and muzzle that is backstabbing. That means your Shaman with Epic is a mage pet + all of the utility a shaman has to offer. You could also include your Shaman pet for another 15ish DPS if you are comfortable controlling them while doing other things.

5x rooted mobs = 5x 9 sec click you’re refreshing (45 seconds per 90 sec duration dot cycle).
Plus the time spent pulling those mobs
Plus the time spent casting root on those mobs
Plus the time spent refreshing root on mobs when/if they break
Plus all the time lost clicking your targets, managing your timers and cycling through which mob needs what and when (nobody is perfect).
That doesn’t leave very much time per 90 seconds to do really anything else.
All so you can keep up with a mage pet? Not even factoring the inherent risk of keeping 5-6 mobs in camp at all times? And only if each dot magically ends a mobs life at highest tick so “real” dps isn’t hampered by the nature of this unique dot?
Lol. You’re not making a strong argument here. You effectively take away what a shaman is best at (utility) in a futile attempt to pretend you are dps.
