You are correct that an ill played DPS is not dependent on the numbers. On the other side of the coin I would almost prefer a DPSer that was a little sloppy rather than a DPSer who was only cranking out 800 DPS. I have had this very thing happen before on my tank. I’ve had several groups with extremely low DPS. Usually this happens when I help a friend so, unfortunately, I couldn’t just leave. Low DPS can make things exceptionally hard on both healers and tanks as they have to do their thing for longer periods of time. As for damage meters, the only real use I’ve found is to find one’s average DPS. It is a good indicator as to the gear of someone as well as skill. I’m not saying that it should be the only thing one goes off of but will assist in knowing where someone is at.
