A pistoleer can do faster damage to a single mob than my poisons will work. But put that pistoleer in a situation with multiple mobs and you will see the difference.

Then we do Fan Shot which is an AOE 4x damage shot as opposed to Stopping Shot which is slower and a 5x Single shot

DoT vs persistent damage, the persistent damage will be greater. Fan shot & AE poisons are two entirely different beasts.
You're wrong though about Fanshot dealing more damage. On 4 mobs, a fan shot hits once, dealing say 2k damage a pop. 8k damage from one shot, pretty good. On 4 mobs, the poison hits. 10 seconds later, 500 damage. 2 mins later, 6k per mob. On 4 mobs that's 24k damage.
I'm going up fencer right now, I've dropped Doctor. I'm going to be doing some sick poison+bleeds. AE poison, bleed everything, wearing good armor, I'll be wasting a bunch of mobs at once. True, it won't be as fast as flat out attacking 1 at a time, but I drop damage on stuff, and I don't have to do anything for them to die, other than wait.
When we drop a poison on a group of 10-40 players, there is NO class that can even dream about coming close to the damage we can deal. That's 10-50k of mind damage from 1 click of a pack, and it happens whether we die or not.
