The first test will be easy enough. We can do some DPS comparisons solo vs. group in a time sliced manner. You don't need to play for 2 hours straight to get a good estimate. 15-30 minutes of an example group will do the trick. You can simply extrapolate how the group would continue doing. We could do this as a duo.
That will solve the basic disagreement that solo DPS is somehow vastly different from group DPS. As long as both of us agree to how we want to time slice the group vs. solo play, it shouldn't be a big deal.
I don't think there is much point in trying to measure something as nebulous as player fatigue, since everybody is different. We would need to somehow survey the entire server to get an idea of how lazy people are on average hehe.

A duo would not suffice in the context of this discussion, unfortunately. That would actually start to favor the shaman more since mobs wouldn't be dieing as fast. And shamans are typically their strongest either solo/duo. Given this is a 4 person discussion thread, we have to stick to 4. No more, no less.
I propose a 1 hour clear to disco two with enc/enc/cleric/mage, and then repeat with enc/enc/cleric/shaman. I have a cleric on a separate account that you could also play when not driving the shaman, or welcome to log one of your own if you happen to have one. Depending on the results of this test, we could expand this to an even harder zone. We could try an HS South crawl. This would be fun to make a video of, but we would need willing participants.
