That's my point. Rogues can eventually beat out a Mage, and this does vary based on mob resistances and if the mob is slowed. You basically have 0 personal DPS if your DD's can't land and the mob is slowed, taking less damage from a DS.
I would be interested to see these parses and what the Rogues gear was, if you have it.

We’re talking your standard 50s xp group rogue with epic and a decent 1hander to pair it with. Even 55+ with double backstab.
Mage pets alone will outdamage a lot of melee classes if you take the time to get a max summon and buff it appropriately. Nuke push the mage over the top and we’re talking a lazily tossed 1-2 nukes per fight … not a full out burn. In burn mode mages are ludicrous in xp groups … but that’s not sustainable. This still ignores the mage dmg shield which isn’t insignificant.
Remember we’re talking groups here. Mages get the shaft in the raid scene.
Full disclosure: I haven’t dusted off my mage since the higher end pets were dialed back a bit.
