Bear in mind that things get weird when you combine fights. Actual dps levels for everyone involved (scaled or otherwise) are below actual real time values parsed.
I have highlighted myself and my 60 water pet unfocused.
Xeff: high level sk well geared; engaged first always
Grandmaster: 60 monk with tunare's fist of tunare and priceless velium wraps 15/20
Konober and Kekab: epic mage pet from another epic. I can only guess he didn't mask it or keep it hasted like it should have been.
Comparatively Ailowen + unfocused 60 water pet is the highlighted above.
See the monk's time engaged and you can see why he was below the SK and lower than me to such a degree; he spent a lot of time not engaged. What you can see is that mage dps is very good. This parse undervalues on the combine by a good 30% as my parse system is not perfect.

Thanks for the parse!
Looking at the data I am confused about how you said you were out-DPSing a Charmed pet in a previous post. The Krup Knight did 86 DPS, you did 79 DPS when combining the pet and your nuking. Even if you want to say a heavy nuking session can temporarily out-DPS the 86 DPS, that isn't going to be all the time, and if you Charmed a better pet in a different zone, they would have even higher DPS.
To be clear, the Monk is out-DPSing your pet. If his engage time was higher, his DPS would be higher too. Considering Nukes take mana, you are going to have med time, so your actual DPS isn't going to be a consistent 40 all the time. It will depend on the fight. How much down time do you take for medding due to Nukes?
I don't think anyone has disputed Epic Mage pet does more DPS. The unfortunate thing is it's pretty rare to find Epic Mages, so in most cases you aren't going to have one in your group. That is why I am not really counting that in this discussion. But let's say you are an Epic Mage. That puts your DPS at 104 if we use Kabekab instead.
I parsed a Rogue in Sebilis today, we were duoing. He was doing 133 DPS roughly, just with Rogue Epic and a good offhand, forgot which one exactly.
As I said before, my Shaman can do 34 DPS per target just with two DoTs. If I was applying 3 DoTs to two mobs in a fight, I would be at 96 DPS consistently. With pet I would be at 107 DPS.
I don't see anything special here that makes Mages amazing. Their pet gets out-DPSed by player classes and Charmed Pets. When they Nuke they can double their DPS, but that is mana dependent. A Shaman or Necromancer could certainly out-DPS a Mage over a long play session with their DoTs and having better mana recovery.
