You were already talking about root-rotting in the same post when you claimed you never said that.
Thank you for conceding that you did and do claim that "a shaman could put out dps similar to a 60 focused water pet mage in a group."

This is a silly attempt at a gotcha. Look at the two quotes below:
1. "A shaman could put out dps similar to a 60 focused water pet mage in a group."
2. "A Shaman could put out dps similar to a 60 focused water pet mage in a group while root rotting is their primary function in a group killing XP mobs".
To claim the two quotes are the same is simply nonsense. The first quote is too vague, and doesn't describe the situation in which a Shaman can increase their DPS. It's an attempt to make it sound like I was saying Shamans out DPS Mages in all scenarios, which isn't true.

Can you think of any conceivable scenario where it would be beneficial to have the Shaman join the group only to "root/rot [mobs off to the side] while doing little else"?
Wouldn't the Shaman and the group each be better off if the Shaman were just soloing, in that case? Since the Shaman is providing no utility value to the group, and the group is doing nothing to increase the Shaman's kill speed?
Do you see how ridiculous this idea is now?

Sure. A group of level 60s getting some XP to make up for the 4-10% loss in XP you get for being resurrected. You don't need to do advanced group tactics to kill mobs that a Shaman or Enchanter could quickly solo.
