If your group is playing correctly (which has been the assumption throughout this conversation), then you will DPS the same as if you were solo, because you are not losing DPS due to other player's mistakes.

No. There exist variables that are outside of each individual players' control such that even if each player believes they are "playing correctly" their DPS ("data" in your words) can be affected ("skewed" in your words).
This really isn't hard hehe.

If your group is not playing correctly, the DPS data you get will be skewed. Again, you could have 1000 data sets of people playing terribly, and it wouldn't reflect the actual DPS of the class.

This is why you test DPS in a situation without outside variables. That shows your DPS ceiling, assuming the group is working correctly. This lets you know what the average DPS difference is between the two classes.

No. In (irrefutable) fact, your data is irrelevant to the discussion, as the context/environment/basis for this discussion (about Shaman vs Mage in a high level fast-paced killing DPS group) includes the existence of variables outside of each players' control, which are inescapable when grouping with other players.
You can continue to seemingly ignore these irrefutable facts, but you cannot refute them, and they will not go away hehe.
