WHM can do more single target DPS technically but only for a shorter period of time. In a dungeon environment WHM can do more AoE dps.

SCH can do more sustained multitarget DPS of boss mobs( think A1/A2S).

WHM can do more for a 'short' period but its going to OOM faster so overall damage is going to be less than SCH. It really depends if you are measure damage over 2 minutes or 6 minutes etc.


Edit; You're both right if one is arguing SCH and one is arguing WHM. There's no clear winner each have their niche...
With regards to 2 vs 6 minutes, as a WHM I dps for much longer than 2 minutes, if that's where you were going with that. I think it also may depend on the healers play style.
