I've had some mage oriented groups tearing up 40K+ DPS on nameds in TSO (in easier zones like Necrotic, Crucible, Atrebe's .etc) whereas melee DPS wouldn't be hitting nearly that high.
Your "mage oriented group" wasn't doing 40K against the Master in Crucible, considering that he reflects almost everything that is cast on him; casters are pretty much left to nuking the dogs and staffing the named, otherwise they're dead on the floor doing zero DPS.
Against level 84/85 mobs, all other things being relatively equal (e.g.: casters and melee mythicaled/mastered/fabled), melee will consistently out-damage the casters zonewide. It's something that I've seen hold true in both heroic instances and on raids.
Yup only around 20k on Master and pitiful 9k on the golem in the front of Atrebe's, even still zone wide the highest DPS I tend to be in are caster based. Unless the mob reflects a group stun/stifle twice in a row or a Bolt Of Ice, I can't see how it's possible to kill yourself when the reflect doesn't do that much damage.
