If you are killing a mob in 30 seconds, using 2x Ice Strikes would be better. You are getting 1350 / 30 = 45 DPS for 500 mana. Your "optimal" example is doing (150 + 214 + 214 + 214 + 400)/ 30 = 40 DPS for 630 mana. Not sure how this is saving anything.

2x Ice Strike takes 14 seconds to cast but costs 130 less mana. Bane + Blast takes 10 seconds. Cannibalize 4 only gives you 80 mana, so you are still down 50 mana after the extra cannibalize lol.
Cannibalize is 82 mana, and it's 625 mana and 9.5 second cast time for the other spells. You can Cannibalize 1.5 times in the extra amount of time, which covers the mana difference, and the reason you use Bane is because there's no partial resist like there is for DD's. It does the most damage on average as such.

That group is clearly doing far less DPS than a dual Enchanter fully-buffed charm pet group. Yet another trash strawman from you. In the other video you link, the one pet being used isn't dual-wielding.

The HP's of the MOB's are 100% verifiable to begin with. They don't have over 12k HP. Enchanter pet group is factually going to be killing them faster than 30 seconds.

If you go to Kael arena and pull higher level things with more HP, that doesn't help the Shaman anyway, because you are just going have higher resist rates. The Mage with their far better pet and unresistible damage shield is keeping their DPS high.

I am pretty sure you are just a low level player
Indeed, that is what you are. The lack of comprehension is staggering.
