I think Mage DPS is similar to the "knight problem" in that in group content they are fine and maybe even superior to their raid counterparts, but on raid mobs the pets are severely under leveled and do not hit as hard and miss a lot and regular melee start mauling them on DPS meters. Fighting a level 49 frog in Seb and a level 63 dragon are different, especially when your pet maxes out at like 48 or whatever and melee players will be level 60
So to answer your question its all about 'raid scene' and mages are not optimal in that environment.
I agree with you on leveling groups, Jibaber will consistently out DPS almost ever melee and that's not considering my 800 damage nukes I am blasting, but the level difference of raid targets is the great equalizer and the further you climb to 60 the worse your pet to level ratio will be.
Not sure if I am explaining myself correctly, hope this is clear
TLDR - Mage pets cap out at too low a level to be effective against dragons - Epic pet is probably the exception?

Fair statement. I figured as much.
What about the reports of epic mage pet parsing as high as endgame velious monks? Or is this a problem because many high end encounters have aoes that knock the pets out of the fight or having pets up cause problems with adds?
