As for how do I gauge tanks and DPS..

Tanks:
- Are they fast, or do they spend a lot of time walking, standing around, milling about?
2 things about that:

First, I always strive to keep stoneskin uptime close to 100% on everybody exclusing tanks for most of the run, except on bosses. That's called preemptive healing. When you apply stoneskin applied out of battle, the MP is almost INSTANTLY recovered, so it's like you got a FREE heal before the fight even started. Why the HELL would I refrain from using this? I also always precast a SS on the tank when I notice the fight is about to end (meaning, the last mob only has a bit of HP) for the same reason. MP recovery out of battle is good enough as to render Stoneskin almost free. So, before judging healer performance, perhaps you'd like to know a bit more about the job...

Second... I have an issue with your stance on both healers and tanks being "bad" and "not worthy of comms" if they don't speedrun. Speedrun never was, nor should be the default. Not everybody in this game have iLvl 120+, not everybody in this game want to rush dungeons. Some of us are even doing them for the first time. Some of us LIKE to do dungeons and don't see them as a chore they wanna get over with ASAP. pushing people into speedrunning should NEVER be seen as positive behaviour, and much less NOT wanting to speedrun be deemed negative behaviour. Please review your concepts.
