Keto, it is very convincing. Earliest Archive is 2002, it's sometime between Vanilla and Velious, but you might of missed my post with several sources from January 2001, only 1 month after Velious' release.

Lovely, once again, whoever has the earliest clear evidence has the strongest case.
If that's how it was in Velious and we can't find anything in patch messages or posts between Vanilla and Velious.. why should we believe otherwise? The earliest evidence says they stacked. What proves otherwise?
Wizards have better burst DPS, but yes DoTs are slightly more efficient and Shamans will kill 100k mobs faster than a wizard.
News flash The most HP something in Vanilla had was 32k hp, of which well geared wizard's could theoretically drop 19% with 2k mana... and no wiz or shaman could solo it; and for DPS wizard are always preferable. Your example has no bearing on the issue.
