I love dot classes. And mained a lock and SPriest in wow for a long time. Multi-dotting is awesome but unfortunately u will cause more aggravation then is needed by breaking CC if its being used. Secondly, when it comes down to it, trash DPS really doesn't matter end game, unless u have a boss that is focused around AoE(rare).

I see SMN being awesome in PvP, and I think they should give them more support abilities. But top dps... Is not a title they hold yet.
You can say this for any class that is not bard. My parses are close to any other dps and it doesn't even track my strongest DoTs. That tells me they are competitive in both AoE and single target fights. Perhaps you are seeing something i am not but i highly doubt there is any summoner that too much of a gear gap that is higher than mines but they are fine from my gear level(i dont wear AF and a good weapon). If you guys are talking that the leveling damage than ill just leave you to your devices.
