There's no way currently to know to stay away from that person, and take the people with you who are pulling their weight. A parser isn't a "free pass", and is actually a tool that can help people recognize they aren't pulling their weight, or the reason that dps check is failing is because of one weak link in a group that can be replaced.

That's not to say we "need" it.. we don't technically need anything in the game. It would be an extremely useful tool though. Granted, it's going to be abused by some folks, just like ilvl is currently abused by some folks. If it's not something available outside of the pre-made groups though, that cuts down on the random abuse of Duty Finder groups. Any pre-made groups that would abuse it are likely already "abusing" the ilvl currently in game.
I mean let us use LogRep, ACT, FFXIVAPP to find the dead weight and simply eject them from our parties or simply leave, no reason to waste your time carrying people who won't try. Only downside is, if you wanted to help the person who is the weak link you can't because it's harassment.
