1. I have already seen lots of Titan HM guide videos;
2. I have already fought Titan down to HP<20%, even if I've never won;
3. The video says "you only need 2 DL pieces and a HM primal weapon".

This only means you're lucky. (Or you always play overgeared)
It's not "laziness" if I get in a dungeon and everyone leaves as soon as I say "wait 5 seconds, I'm skipping the cutscene". If you can always get to the end of the dungeon with 8 members, well, good for you. If no one leaves I can easily heal everybody without a problem and end that in 20 minutes.

I'd do so even with Titan, if people didn't ask full DL gear.
Because I don't want to run Praetorium and AK 100 times to get Allagan Tomestones, I want to have a good fight, to win, and to get to another stronger enemy.
Full DL is required (maybe!) only for the Binding Coil of Bahamut.

this is BS... after the heart you need 3300 HP to live though the stomps... also if you are waling into even the first trash mob of coil without fill DL you are a waste of a player slot.

Garuda is a joke of a fight there is no constant mass AoE that must be killed. its a simple mechanics fight. Titan is a gear and awareness check. Sorry but no matter how "skilled" ou think you are taking 3500 damage when you have 3100 hp is not something skill covers.

I thought I would jump in here and try to fix another mistake. Anyone who is reading this including the OP, let me pass on some sage advise.

Use your tomes to buy Accessories first. Seriously, I don't know why people go for chest first, when your chest is GUARANTEED to be a 55. But oh, I need to replace my chest first so it looks like I am not a noob at first glance!!! Nope, I always run up to people and examine them, when I see that ALL they bought was the DL chest (or chest/helm), I facepalm and will likely kick them from the group.

In the same amount of 1300 tomes it takes you to get your chest/helm, you could have bought just about all of your accessories. Here is the other reason for this, Accessories are also the HARDEST thing to upgrade from AK. There is ONE chest that drops the rings, wrists, neck, and earrings for all 6 sets. That means you have a 1/6 chance that you will have something drop for your class, and 1/24 chance that it is the specific slot you wanted. I have a buddy who has run AK at least 60 times now, and has yet to get the hoplite ring (which is the ONLY accessory you need to have a drop for, since DL rings are unique). While getting your 900 myth tomes you will end up running AK around 25 times. This alone should make your full AK greens on your main slots (unless you have terrible luck) and 1500 philo tomes which should be enough to get all your Accessories DL.

Edit: Within the first week of being 50 I had full AK greens/DL. I primarily ran AK, with one or two CMs, and I will admit I got lucky on getting a ring (which is excusable if that is the one thing you are missing). It then has taken me about 2 more weeks of casual play to get full DL (and actually I am still 5 CM runs from getting the legs). You will spend most all of your time CM/Prae farming for your chest/helm/gloves/legs/boots because they are so damn expensive. (it takes 9 runs for legs, 14 runs for chest/helm by themselves), when people say they are clearing content with AK/DL mix this is how and why they are doing it. Stop being bad, and get the easy gear.

I just need Vitality, so I'll just get the best vitality boost out of all DLs, this is why I chose the cowl. I have also calculated all the stat boosts before choosing.
I don't need 20 more HP healed, 800 or 820 is the same, and I got some DL accessories just because I only had lv28-30 ones.
But for now my subscription is inactive (still have to pay), so if you don't want to get me in your party play now!
P.S.: and, it took 2 weeks to you for full DL, it took me half a month of 6-7 hours a day to get just the gear I have.

6-7h a day for half a month to get the gear you have? I equipped my BRD with Full DL in a matter of one weekend running Praetorium all day long (but still less than 6-7h a day).
If people leave cause you play on PS3...just don't tell them. So what if it takes you 5 seconds longer to get out of CSs. Some people are just "slower" to Skip them, doesn't mean you are a PS3 player and everybody leaves instantly. Just skip them and don't tell anybody you are on PS3. Most people don't give a damn waiting 5 seconds if they assume "you are just slow".

Hope it was so...
If I don't tell "well, WAIT MEH!" out loud everybody leaves me behind and then they get to the boss and realize they don't have the healer, then they leave saying I am leeching.
If I tell them, they just get pissed off and leave.

Why not just do CM runs? Only takes like 10 minutes longer and no risk of being left behind due to 5ish seconds of cut scenes. And think of all the time you lost from your party leaving you and having to re-duty finder; I'm sure you'd have actually SAVED time doing CM.

Plus, I wouldn't be surprised if SE nerfed the teleport exploit. I'm pretty sure that isn't intentional and it's being exploited (hence why I never do Prae).

Yeah, there is a lot of negative connotations on the PS3, which is unfair... it is the same negatives that "clickers" get, which is also unfair. But, there is a reason the stereotype exists, which I understand. I would just not say anything about it, because it carries the negative with it, and let your ability to play well prove how good/bad you really are.

Me personally, I consider myself pretty lax on the standards for gear, I will let people into a titan run that might not be full DL or even full AK depending on what they have. I generally LOOK at people's gear, not just assume based on HP, because people "cheat" their vitality all the time rather than actually FIXING their gear. If you spent all your tomes on your accessories I wouldn't care about your HP because you are over that bar... But you being able to heal better helps everyone. Sure, if everyone is PERFECT, then you would be fine in your gear, but as you said no one is perfect.

Using your own standard 1 mistake in 10-15 pulls, if everyone is like that, and you need perfect execution because we pull in a bare minimum group, then you are faced with at least 8 wipes before you get a solid pull for people to make it to P5 and work through the fight. Chances are that, by the time you work back around to the 8th wipe, someone else will be frustrated, impatient, slow, tired, whatever and miss one plume in an early stage and get killed. Then you have to start ALL over again, because your healers just wont have the mana left after a rez and the person you rez will be worthless right as you hit P5 from a lack of health.

Being over geared allows the ever so slight room for error (although not much of one) on that fight to make up for it. Eat one bomb? no big deal! Eat one plume, hey keep going, DPS faster and don't stack tumolt so high? even better. I don't know your skill, you don't know mine, I allow room for (a little) stupid with the better gear.

As was said, if you want to put together a group like this, either join a FC that are going to take people YOU want to play with (like minded individuals) or put together your own titan run. Noone is MAKING you join one of those groups, and you are completely free to put your own runs together. I have done both, depending on the situation, for that EXACT reason.

I once pulled (it was completely my fault, but hey, it was a mistake!) one enemy and people started insulting me and saying "PS3 dumbass" and stuff like that.
Oh, and even in CM people leave you behind, even worse than CM. Once I skipped the cs after the first boss and found nobody, I didn't know where to go XD
A guy once told me he had done CM more than 70 times in a row... :S
I'll get my cowl doing some Prae speedruns with my own party (as I did the last days, it takes something like 15-30 minutes but I can manage to find good members), and then do Titan.
Last Prae run we did it in 25 minutes with 2 first timers :O
