Fizzling happens at Level 60, and the higher level a spell is, the more it fizzles. That's a fact and needs to be accounted for, even if it's a small difference.
As I already described, Ice Strike is only a 2.03 damage-to-mana spell when accounting for the lost Canni time. Blast of Poison is 2.0 and the difference in fizzle rate between the two covers that small difference and makes them essentially even. And you have to use the poison spell over the cold spell regardless for Velious giants, which is very relevant.
Anyone with a brain already knows how fast a Shaman can regenerate mana. It's factual math.
You factually can not stand around spamming Canni non-stop. You have to actually cast other spells to do damage, which reduces your Canni time. Your "video example" is idiotic, as always.

You keep missing the part where I am telling you that you aren't going to be cannibalizing the entire time, because a group isn't going to be pulling 77 mobs an hour. There will be breaks in between.
Your 2.03 damage-to-mana ratio idea is nonsense. Again, you are assuming the group is pulling 77 mob an hour, therefore the Shaman cannot do anything but canni.
Any camp where you could pull 77 mobs an hour, the Shaman can simply go to another area and root rot while the main group is killing just fine. Nobody cares about your Velious Giants example. In Kael your DoTs will last the full time. You are not killing plate house mobs in 20 seconds lol.
