On top of the post itself being badly written, I just kinda disagree, and I'm saying this as an (intended) madness sorcerer (even though I spent 6 points in Lightning).
You can't read that much into tooltips. And PVP isn't an indication of DPS. FFS man, learn to MMO. I don't mean this criticism to be flaming or anything like that, and as harsh as it sounds, I just think you should actually know what you're talking about before you start talking.
Until we devise a way to parse PVE dps, there's no reason to have this discussion. Go with whichever tree gels with you the most, but for the love of all that is DAWERK SAHDID, don't deign to write an argumentative post under the guise of helping the community, writing it literally as poorly as is possible for anyone with all ten fingers and an eighth grade education, and expect it to function as intended. Sorry.
