Iksar shaman will also be able to solo (if their AC is working correctly), mobs that hit harder than any other shaman race come Velious.
That said, A barb can put out 33 + ~17 dps using hammer and slowing themselves + hammer melee dps. Sustained indefinitely.
If you're soloing a mob that summons and time is of any importance, you're not going to beat that any other way.
If you're in a group and need to maximize your dps, you're not going to beat it with just epic.
Yes if you're soloing 5 mobs, you're better off just letting epic tick, but that's slow, not good vs mobs with high MR, and not best for single targets.
If you're only root rotting as a 60 shaman you're the one not playing your class to the most of its abilities.
