How would the DPS of a Mage with Fesh staff (400damage DD) combating full-time, 255 Strength, 255 Dex 41% haste, epic pet, occasionally nuking, and damage shielding a tank like a paladin compare to other DPS classes?

I can take a look using my DPS calculator. With those stats the Mage would melee + proc for about 20 DPS against a level 50 mob, if the Mage is attacking non-stop. If you cast spells, that would lower your melee DPS.
For comparison, if a Warrior could use Fesh Staff with those same stats, they would do roughly 58 DPS while meleeing non-stop.
Spamming Burnt Wood Staff is 24 DPS, and spamming Boots of Bladecalling is 35 DPS.
Sadly I do not think a melee build on a Mage will work, as spamming clickies would have better DPS.
If I remember correctly an Epic Pet does like 80-90 DPS, so you would be doing around 125 DPS with Epic Pet and boots of bladecalling Clickie Spam. It would be like 150 DPS if your Epic Pet was tanking due to Damage shield.
If you really wanted to you could auto attack with fesh staff in between clickie casts to try and proc Fesh Staff. But then your pet wouldn't be tanking, so you'd lose the damage shield DPS. That probably wouldn't be worth it unless the mob is running, or you need to tank for your pet.
