Oh yeah, if you run a static or have a group of friends its a lot easier to min/max a group. But most people don't do that for xp groups, at least not in my experience.

Most pickup groups just get what they can. As long as you have a healer, tank, and puller, the group can operate just fine. No gear checks happen, and most mobs have low enough HP for any tank to chew through. A DPS class increases kill speed, but more players in group also reduces XP.

The biggest increase to your kill speed is generally more players, not some hypercarry DPS class. This is because more players means any class can DPS more due to having support. They have less DPS downtime.

That is what I am saying, the increased DPS a mage brings to the table does not generally make up for their lack of utility. A well tuned xp group is not going to bring a pure DPS with no utility. That is a waste of a group slot.
