I don't see the reason for your DF thing. I use it all the time and have passed Steps of Faith using it. It sucked trying to get a group that could actually clear but after several failed attempts I finally was able to complete.
It wasn't absolute fun but the fight itself is not overly difficult the mechanics just have to performed properly with everyone doing their part. Coming down on DF doesn't really solve anything. Not everyone is or wants to be in FC's with tons of folks. There is the benefit of being in one that allows for more dependent grouping. DF people are rolling the dice when they queue. No need to add to that stress...
