Dunno how much changed since I last played, but a lot of sorc/sage scoreboard damage was just padded damage. I mean, your hardest hitting ability hits three targets, but who cares about the damage on those two other targets unless they're getting focused on by other people. Same thing with dots, obviously your damage total is going to be higher if your tab dotting people, but the majority of that damage isn't really doing anything. Your single target damage is good and consistent, but nothing really special. You basically just have to ability to spread low and meaningless damage quickly to mass amounts of targets better than other classes. Meh.
