Great class.

“Meh” dps in a group.

Decent damage contribution in a duo or trio of the content easily allows, but still lower than any comparably geared melee by a college mile or necro/mage pet (excluding the pet owners contributions).
I agree that DPS oriented classes do more DPS than a Shaman. That doesn't mean a Shaman's DPS is bad, or that their utility doesn't make up for their lower DPS.

Again, if you want to claim that Shamans objectively have low DPS on average, you need to bring some data. Otherwise you are just guessing.
