We aren't supposed to melt things down as fast as a dps does. A dps has to finish the fight as quickly as possible because they can't keep themselves alive in longer fights. We can, and the trade off there is that we don't hit as hard.

My hubby and I play together. He finishes solo duties first a lot because he melts things down, but sometimes he just squeaks by with a sliver of health. Whereas I take longer but I have full health or near full health at the end. The unreasonable thing would be to expect that we can have that capability of keeping ourselves alive AND putting out anywhere near the same dps as an actual dps. That would be far too overpowered.
