Ah I see what you are saying. The single PBAoE spell is getting multiplied by the instrument. So you are doing like 60 damage per mob instead of 30 from a single PBAoE tick. Makes sense!
So Bards do like 250 DPS while swarming 25 mobs because 10 DPS (60 Damage / 6 seconds) x 25 Mobs = 250 DPS. That is why they are the kings of power leveling. Swarm kiting just feels slower because each mob is dying slower. But mathematically you killed the same number of mobs in the same amount of time as a group that focuses their combined 250 DPS into one mob at a time.
Now you should understand why Shamans can do more DPS than you think. When DoTing more than one mob with your Epic, you are multiplying your Epic DoT's DPS for each mob DoTed. The multiplier is not as large as a Bard's multiplier since the Epic's cast time extends the time it takes for each mob to become DoTed, but the same logic applies.
