Best 4 person all caster/priest group

DPS isn't an issue in a group with multiple charm pets, is the most worthless part of this argument.
You want utility. Mage pet to backup tank on breaks os somewhat useful,but a big dumb bear with torpor can do it better.
Neither is optimal, both would work.
Continue flinging poo from your cages

A hasted and torched illis frog will clock near 200dps. Two of them don't need help to kill things

Shaman is much more optimal than a Mage, unless you need CoTH. I agree with the rest of this.

No kidding. Group might be doing 415 DPS with a shaman or 435 with a magician and they can't tell the difference. It's not shaman vs magician, it's group vs group and the magician isn't offering enough of a boost to justify giving up 500+ HP per player let alone everything else the shaman offers. The magician only wins when it offers something specific that the group needs other than damage, be it call of the hero, an easy class for a limited player, whatever.

Exactly.
