I am curious - for these rats in the maze in PoM you are quoting - can you give us some parses that show they only 10 dps once slowed? I am a bit beyond suspicious this number is not accurate. I ain't gonna pay for a PoM succor just to test this out but this is NOT consistent with 4.5k hp mobs vs 7k hp mobs i am used to on any of my classes.
10dps is par for the course for slowed KC trash, but those are like 4k mobs. I suspect any mob in the 7k hp range will actually do more. Beyond that are we talking 10dps for a shaman with a shield equipped and not autoattacking at all or a shaman actively swinging a 2hb (no shield ac and riposte damage factored in). A shaman without a shield will take more damage than one without. If autoattacking they WILL take more dmg than if not attacking. Furthermore, on any parses you provide were you using 2hb or a shield and no autoattack and riposte dmg? One riposte in a 2 minute fight can be the difference of over 100hp - which has a huge impact on recovery time (napkin math).
I can easily parse the attacking vs not attacking shield vs not on regular shit; but not paying to port to PoM to test on mobs in those ranges.
It's a not insignificant part of the equation assuming you are hunting 7khp mobs (vs the standard 4k-6k mobs most shamans would be soloing for xp)
