    Actually, you're wrong. JA proccing is better than magic and WS proccing because you can do it faster.

    You can expect to take about 2 minutes per monster proc spamming Dia.
    You can expect to take about 2 minutes per monster proc spamming WSs
    You can expect to take about 30~45 seconds per monster proc spamming /DNC JAs.

    That's the disparity that should be fixed. SE seems to have designed magic and WS proc rates with AoE proccing in mind, but they never adjusted them when they nerfed AoE proccing. I used to Aeolian Edge proc city monster pulls instead of JA proccing because it net me about the same currency and let me use camps that JA proccers avoid. I could see SE believing a BLM/RDM spamming -aga III/Sleepga or would do the same thing.

    In CoP zones AoE proccing is nerfed and they haven't buffed the single target proc rate enough to make it feasible. This leaves us with three sets of EP monsters per time window, which is insufficient to deal with demand.

    ...
    Actually the proc rates are (last seen) JA 20%, WS 15% and MA 5%
    Regarding you'r 2 Minutes for Dia and WS... you can also spam 5 minutes JAs before you get the proc. But in general you'll proc within 2 minutes.
    Spaming WS on a mob is easy - proc a JA/MA mob and use him for TP gain. Oh - that's a party strategy. ;p

    PS: Several mage jobs can spam dia, poison and every low mp consuming / fast ready spell
