Neither of those quotes disprove what I have said, or the howling stones video showing solo videos can be used in group scenanrios.

Solo play simply cannot be directly translated to group play because what the other players are doing have the ability affect what each other given player is able to do to include how much damage they are able to deal/how much DPS they are able to perform how much healing they are able to provide, etc. You know this to be true, per:

in a group setting, there are too many variables out of your control that can skew the data

Once you add in outside variables, that changes the DPS equation NOT because of what the class can do, but because of what other players are doing

One particular thing which might be exactly the same solo vs in a group is something like root rotting multiple mobs parallel to a group, but unfortunately there's simply been no evidence provided to prove that Shamans do that, or would be able to improve their group's DPS by doing that (perhaps as much as or more than a non-Epic Mage).

The howling stones video shows you can translate solo dps into group dps. You have yet to provide counter evidence. As usual, you are hand waving away all evidence. Your claim about solo videos not translating to groups has been disproven so far.

It is also true that groups can skew your DPS data. A Shaman could do more damage than a Mage if the Mage Pet keeps dying due to another group member messing up, as a simple example. That doesn't mean the Mage DPS is actually that low if the group was playing properly. This is why logs or videos are better than parses, as they provide context.

This was all said before, and the post history shows it. You just keep spamming the thread.
