Of course it's not that easy, but accurate if mob lives <10sec and/or avg pull duration is >=72sec.
So now we're talking about circumstances. And this differs widely. For comparison we need more variables like mob lifetime, pull duration, pull variety, group breaks, mob type, etc. not even talking about quality of dmg.
Things are not that simple.

If you take into account only medding, that 1615dmg is 72 seconds with maximum mana regen clarity II.
So rogue potential is 7 x 400 = 2800 dmg just from backstabs alone, and in the same amount of time for wizard to med enough to do 1615dmg.
That doesn't include fiz or resist or agro mitigation. Not sure about rogue skill cool down/overlaps for backstab an evade.
1615dmg with 7 sec casting + 72 sec medding time = 22 DPS
The problem with wizards, and only wizards, is they have no way to contribute to melee damage, every other class can significantly buff to assist melee damage, and/or use a pet, or do melee damage themselves.
Melee damage is only a CH away from infinite damage. That why only wizards need buffed.
