    One vanahour is 2m24s in RL time, so *8 would be... 19m12s. Remember there's also an animation delay when casting magic, so you'd get a more accurate calculation by setting a stop watch when you start casting your first spell and stop it when you start casting the same spell again.

    BGwiki has approximated proc rates of each type of proc, and have magic proc rate listed around 5%, JA 20%, WS 15%. BST/DNC gets steps (once every 15 seconds), violent flourish (once every 20 seconds), and feral howl if they merit it (once every 5 minutes, though I'm not sure how accurate it is). Assuming 95% accuracy on all steps, flourishs, and feral howl and 20% !! rate, that puts BST/DNC at 7.2 proc attempts per minute, *.95% = 6.84 landed proc attempts per minute, *.2 = 1.368 procs per minute or an average proc time of 43.86 seconds (slower than you estimate your proc time with magic to be). But proc time isn't everything. Again, you can't do anything when spamming magic because you need to stand still and wait for the casting to finish. JAs are instant and then you're just waiting on their cooldown timer.

    Personally my favorite is large group of players with SJ restricted and strong buffs rampaging through a large group of WS proc mobs though.

    Edit: ah, I thought of a better way to compare. /dnc gives you 7*.95*.2 or 1.33 procs per min, so assuming BGwiki is right about proc rates, you would need 1.33/0.05 or 26.6 spells cast per minute to match that proc rate. Or 1.33/0.15 or 8.87 WSs per minute to match.
