The problem here is you are basically assuming a lazy mage will always do X, and a lazy shaman will always do Y. It's on a per player basis, so you can't get any data on what percentage of players play their class normally. For all you know most Mages just afk and leech XP [You must be logged in to view images.

The only thing you can do is look at how the classes are played normally. Torpor Shamans are going to be doing their job, because anybody who hates Canni/Torporing would have stopped playing their Shaman. It's the same logic with bards. If you don't like a class that requires more effort, you don't play it. |
You're out of your mind. Literally out of your mind. When I played my shaman in groups I would start out keeping every buff on everyone and busting my ass to be canni'ing constantly if I wasn't FM or doing something else. I'd be throwing dots and rooting and keeping my pet up/hasted.etc but after about 2-3 hours my ambition inevitably fades. I'd start doing less and less cause shaman is so much fucking busywork to play optimally. If I hit 4+ hours on an extended grind session I was 100% phoning it in. I stopped worrying about buffs on non-tanks other than like haste. Often I stopped really caring about doing DPS and just making sure nobody died and mobs were slowed. If I had nothing that needed to be done I'd sit instead of canni so I could just not have to pay attention and button mash and just watch netflix on other monitor for a second or something.
Mage is SIGNIFICANTLY easier to play lazily and not lose much or any effectiveness. It's not even a contest. There is no possible argument you can make otherwise. Mage is literally the lazy class. It's had that reputation since 1999 for a reason.
