Ask the people who think adding DPS to a group is the only thing that matters. It isn't my argument that DPS is the end all be all of grouping. The people who think DPS is the only thing that matters are the ones trying to downplay Shaman DPS. I am simply refuting the incorrect claim that Shamans can't DPS well.
I agree the Shaman shouldn't solely DPS in a group, their other utility is more useful than DPS. Since Epic is free it is easy to DoT rooted mobs to increase DPS while still doing your utility role.

It’s ok to be frustrated at people but let’s not even elude to the fact a shaman can DPS with the epic. It’s a 9 second cast and 90 second duration that scales the longer it lasts (ie: not the best dps tool for short fights). Best case in 99 seconds if not resisted it will do 14.39 dps. That doesn’t even count time to root stuff.
You would have to run 5x dots concurrently to do 71dps and with varying timers. Meanwhile with most fights being 30 seconds or so a real dps could have done that to three individual mobs in the same duration and reduced the total npc count.
