I think the problem is that not everybody solo queues, so it's slower to build comms. Most of the time I do roulette I ask if people in my FC and linkshell want to join and most of the time people do, which results in no comms.
Plus people give comms for completely arbitrary reasons and I am guilty of it. It could be they've said something funny or made the run entertaining, they have a glamour I like, a funny name, at random because I wasn't paying attention and so on. Sure I comm people I think deserve it, had a positive attitude, tried or did a good job, but if your reasons can vary depending entirely on a whim based on your experience in the group.
I don't think it's a reliable measure for something like mentors to indicate they have the knowledge and experience and also excludes those who do have the knowledge and experience but not enough comms.

just to be fair, new sprout need more responsible mentor to guide them through.
honestly I dont think 1500 is that hard to achieve. Furthermore comms are not tanks/heals exclusive, DPS gets comms too, especially in high end raid like savage and ex. me and my friend also give comms to dps who give heals/tanks the least trouble and still dish out decent dmg.
Being a mentor require great deal of patient, just take 1500 comms as a test of patient. cheers to all mentors out there o/
