There's Ixiblat Fer and uhh... Ixiblat Fer and Fungi King? Oh wait no they could do fungi king np. Well there's Ixiblat Fer! I'm actually not even sure what the best charm available in BW is. It honestly wouldn't surprise me if they could do it just fine without a shaman but for the sake of argument I'll let you have this one.

Are we now suggesting shaman is the right choice to make 1 or 2 niche mobs/camps easier at lvl 60? Rather than the CLEARLY better option for lvling 1-60 and at MOST other camps in the game? You know the class that does 50% more dps than shamans by your own data? That's assuming they don't have an epic in which case would be more than 50% increase over mediocre shaman dps?
Again, you are just ignoring other aspects of the game. A Shaman decreases your groups chances of wiping throughout the 1-60 process and at high level camps. They also save your group mana since they can handle things like slowing and healing too. You are only focusing on DPS, because that is the only argument you can make for Mage vs. Shaman.

If you are going to assume perfect play (no group wipes), Mage still loses. Just roll four Enchanters since your group is the best of the best. It doesn't need any support. You can have pocket clerics for the occasional CHing pets or resing.
