Best DPS class by the Numbers

I'm newer to the game and have been reading posts, watching videos and have gathered that different classes really do perform very differently based on circumstances, duo, sc, city etc.
This being said I haven't seen a post or video yet answering my question of which class has the highest DPS. I'm not asking about positions, matchups, scenarios, warbands etc. I'm interested to know if there is a class that in theory by the numbers that could do the highest damage.
I'll further break that down by splitting the question:
Is there a best single target class?
And is there a best AoE class?
In not looking for a class to play, but I am very curious if these questions have a definitive answer.

Lets say I gave you the answer of Choppa, hard capped on strength. He's got a a lot of raw damage, but not much armor pen so it gets reduced by 80% beating on a tank with decent armor.
The point is that doing half the damge = more hurt if you it can bypass armor.
Magic damage can run into stacked resists, etc etc. The raw damage isn't as important as match ups, mitigations, AP availability, buffs and debuffs and even facing.
But Ill say Sorc does the most single target, to answer the question.

There was a thread somewhere with scenario data based on the killboard. Last I checked it, Slayer was the best DPS by-the-numbers.

You cannot ignore circumstances and expect a definitive answer.
