Oh you mean the data where the mage is doing 50% more DPS than you? Sounds like we're in agreement I guess. Mage is significantly more damage. Who would've guessed? It's easy to look at 27.5 DPS and act like it's not a big deal but it's literally like 50% more damage than you and I'd wager that's on the low side. I would be shocked if you grouped with a mage for an hour in a fast killing group and were only 27 dps lower overall. But even if you were like I said that's still 50% more and not insignificant.

When you have 2 Enchanter pets 27 DPS isn't a big deal. A group killing a mob with 8000 HP in 36 seconds is doing 222 DPS already. Changing the DPS to 192 only changes the fight time to 42 seconds per mob.
A Shaman can help the group out in other ways, such as lower downtime between mobs. They are better at assisting with charm breaks, they take less time to re-malo the charmed pets and get back into the fight since they can recover mana faster and malo is better than mala. Buffs and heals reduce the chance of deaths, etc. Shamans are also better when dealing with tough mobs such as Ixiblat Fer.
And again, a Shaman can do 84 DPS by root/rotting two mobs. If a group cares about DPS, they would do everything they can to decrease kill times, which means root/rotting mobs they haven't gotten to yet. If they didn't care about DPS, why would they sweat 27 DPS in a group already doing 160+ DPS just from Enchanter pets?
