Just going to repost this calculation, because anybody who knows basic math will understand. If you think your average DPS is 175 because you spammed Nukes in a single fight, then you are basically trying to argue Wizards are the best DPS class in the game lol.

Average pet DPS: (46 + 60 + 56 + 52 + 75 + 57 + 50 + 55 + 52) / 9 = ~56 DPS.
A Mage with max Meditate and Clarity II is regenerating mana at 31 mana per tick. Let's assume this Mage has 3000 Mana to start with.
Max mana per hour: (31 mana x 10 ticks per minute x 60 minutes) + 3000 = 21600.
Shock of Steel costs 275 mana, so that means you can cast it a maximum of 78 times per hour, assuming that is all you cast and you meditate every tick.
Best possible player DPS: (825 damage x 78 nukes) / 3600 seconds = ~18 DPS.
This means a Mage is going to be doing around
75 DPS with an unfocused level 60 Water pet while nuking. Troxx's original parse of around
80 DPS was accurate.

[Mon Aug 22 08:13:54 2022] You have slain froglok jin shaman!
6,549 damage over 93 seconds = 70.5 DPS
This is 70.5 DPS to a froglok jin shaman in Sebilis just using a 50% hasted Spirit of the Howler pet and Bane of Nife + Envenomed Bolt. The pet is not max level. He is hitting for 47, so that is a lower end pet (max is 52, each level increases damage by 2). No need to root/rot with this setup in a group, and the DoTs only last 7 or 8 ticks.
A single set of Bane of Nife + Envenomed Bolt costs 745 mana.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjZxMlJSCDc using this video, it looks like you can Torpor recover mana at around 14 mana per second. If you include C2, it is more like 16 mana per second.
This means you can recover the 745 mana in 46 seconds. That is easily the length of a fight if Enchanters are fighting 2 mobs with charmed pets. This means the DPS is generally sustainable too.
