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.
Yeah you’re right it’s not this easy. Because you’re not adding in the constant damage a Rogue is doing over the course of the kill, and you’re not dividing the Wizard’s damage by the zero damage they are doing for the rest of the kill.

It also ignores the many kills a wizard won’t even do any damage on at all because they’re sitting there medding through
