Why do people say SK's do more DPS than Paladins?

They do tho that quote doesn't mean they are dps classes

If they aren't DPS classes in raids, why are you using raid DPS as the benchmark?

That is like saying Mages do terrible DPS because they don't use their pets in raids. It is true that Mages don't DPS in raids, but you are missing the point of why Mages exist in raids.

Mages do much better DPS in Solo/Group content, where they can use their pets.

You are basically creating this strawman scenario where you are saying "raiding is the only thing that matters, therefore SK's can't use their pets, therefore DPS is the same". It's a nonsensical argument.
