You are missing the point entirely. If Shaman was dead weight, why wouldn't the comp be Cleric/Enchanter/Monk (or SK)?
The Shaman's ability to Slow, Heal, DPS, Buff, and Malo gives them a huge leg up over a Cleric, which is why you end up just parking an alt for reses.
In the four man composition you already have plenty of DPS with the Necro and Enchanter, so the Mage's DPS is the only thing that is redundant, and again the Shaman can output the same DPS if necessary. The Mage offers nothing. You already admitted you agree with the DPS data hehe.

Again, why are you still talking about trios and now even adding in melee? Lol, this has nothing to do with this thread. You're not making any points, other than why a shaman excels better with low numbers, which we already know.
You don't understand group composition dynamics, and how much changes adding a 4th man in. With enc/cleric/mage/necro, you have superior healing, dps, and utility, while only losing out on torpor and a marginally better slow/mala. You don't need to prioritize 2 slows when you have 3 tanks and a 6k-8k hp pet being chealed hehe. Fungi king has been killed with 1 to 0 slowers many, many times hehe.
So sorry, the shaman really just offers nothing, except the excuse for the enc/cleric/necro to just slack off and enjoy their full mana pool. Which is why shamans do so well in low man settings, but not in this composition.
