simple math dude.
You have 2400 mana, I have 2400 mana.
You cast Ice Comet 6 times and are out of mana. You did 6720 damage.
I cast a spell that does 81 damage for 30 mana, 80 times, for 6480 damage and still have a pet doing more DPS.
Sure, you did 240 more damage nuking than I did, but which one of us did the most damage over that fight?

Your logic is sound but the differences in number of casts radically distorts what is actually going on. Mages may have to cast a few more times, not 80 times a wizard, to do the same amount of damage, but that doesn't matter in the long run during a raid where a wizard is constantly medding to do 1 more nuke while a mage's pet is constant DPS. Sure the burst fire is a slightly better on a wizard not to mention the base resist modifier is slightly better but overall the argument is that the slight reduction doesn't offset the pet DPS.
