You are correct that a Mage will generally out DPS a Shaman on a solo target. But how did you know that a Mage will do higher DPS on a solo target?

The answer is people /pet attack a single mob and record the DPS. You can do that in a group, or solo[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] This is how DPS parsing works for class comparisons.

When DPS parsing there are typically actual players playing the classes that are parsing. Raw math and/or vacuum class capabilities simply do not translate into actual DPS as calculated during actual gameplay, so Raw math and vacuum "player-less" class capabilities are irrelevant to this discussion.

Please explain in detail how "the DPS will remain the same" in a group environment when "the DPS equation has been changed by outside variables" as you noted in the - direct- Quote(s) below?

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.
