No, you don't do that on your own with Torpor. Once again, you do not have the TIME to perma sit there spamming Torpor + Canni. You have to actually cast your damage spells if you want to do DPS. You need the Cleric to heal you if you want to do theoretical maximum DPS.
Interesting how you ignored the other part of the post too, detailing how Shaman spell DPS in this group is actually only going to be about 28.

You missed the edit. Your math is just wrong, both on Torpor and DPS lol.

You can't math. Let's say a mob dies in 30 seconds.
You Bane first. That is 150 + 214 x 4 ticks = 1006
You E-Bolt second. That is 110 + 146 x 3 ticks = 548
1548 / 30 = 50 DPS lol. Obviously cast times effect DPS a little bit on a per mob basis. The same is true when a Mage is nuke spamming mobs. They could also land the nuke while the mob is at low life and lose DPS that way. They could also use /pet attack late.
The reason why we use average DPS is because not all mobs are going to die in exactly 30 seconds. Sometimes your DPS will be higher, sometimes it will be lower.
Resists can occur on a Mage too, so they are losing DPS as well lol.

Your Blast of Poison idea is silly too. You would deal 800 damage for 400 mana, but you have double the resist chance because you are casting the spell twice. Conversely, if you want to hit 800 damage in the same 30 seconds, you would Bane, then E-Bolt, then use a single JBB cast. That would be 1006 + 548 + 263 = 1817, which is the same damage but you are spending 55 less mana. DPS would be 1817 / 30 = 60 DPS.
Blast of poison would start getting good if you are killing mobs really fast, but at that point why would you need a Mage if your Enchanters are killing mobs in like 10 seconds lol?
