You are wrong. Elite players in MMORPG separate themselves by a perfect knowledge of boss and enemies paterns for PVE, and by skill and knowledge of all classes in PVP.

Now you put yourself in PVE context, and try to compare your skill to anyone else. Sure, hitting an optimal DPS is "easy" for everyone by reading guide and everything, but being able to deal your optimal DPS while applying boss strategy perfectly to make your tank/heal job easier is totally different.

Compare what can be compared first.

Sry for my spelling.
