I did plenty of runs prior to the LS reforming. PUG's suck in general, never know if your getting a good player or someone with an Ukon whiffing at 55% accuracy. What you do notice is that the same people tend to form the groups and over time everyone gets to know who the decent / good players are and who the scrubs are.

And your not going to pull wins out of the harder fights with mediocre setups, not without getting lucky on procs anyhow. The T6's (Bismark / Morta included) require a high amount of offensive power to kill before they destroy you. No matter how good / lucky you are at hitting procs, eventually they'll start to become stuff like HV BST Pet / SMN / PUP / DNC / Dark BLM and other things that you might not have covered or even be able to land. Once one HV becomes locked your chances of restoring Fanatics starts to go down and once fanatics is gone it's only a matter of time until the NM kills off all your DD's then starts on the back line. If it's not dead before this happens then it's a wipe. That's why I insist on at least one party being

Heavy DD x 3
COR
BRD
WHM

And to rotate the single BRD if there isn't a second one. The faster you kill it the lower the number of procs you need to hit and the shorter time it's got to do uber moves of death and carnage.
