    In 2.0 the only things SMN had over SCH was fester, a damage dealing pet and raging strikes. In sustained AoE situation, E.G dungeon speed runs, A.K.A the majority of content for 2.0, fester wasn't used, the pet's 90 potency auto attack was a drop in the bucket on those huge pulls and raging strikes could only be used once or twice.

    The constant 10% damage buff from cleric's stance outweighed all of these things and a SCH rarely had to leave cleric's stance because Eos could handle most of the healing and lustrate still worked at full potency while cleric stance was on. So both their rotations consisted of DoT a mob > bane spam > shadowflare > blizzard 2 until DoTs need to be reapplied.

    SMN might have beaten SCH dps on couple of occasions with raging strikes contagion DoTs but over the course of an entire dungeon run the SCH encDPS would be higher due to the extra sustained dps from cleric's stance.

    You could make a game where all you did was run through fields of flowers holding hands and you'd still get a guy telling you you're doing it wrong.
