That's less to do with rotation and more to do with someone who doesn't give a damn. Anyone who uses any skill when the GCD is up will hit more than 150 dps in Alex 3. So, that's basically the worst possible example, and not to be used as a rule of thumb.

Let's be outright honest here, most people do moderate DPS. The few that don't simply don't care about their job enough to make the effort, and never will no matter what tutorials you throw in their faces. What you guys are really talking about is optimal DPS, and that's something which no one should have forced on them. It turns players into drones that have to use a very specific set of skills in a very specific order. It's a rigid method that, while effective, just kills the enjoyment of playing the game.

If you want everyone to do the same damned thing, why even have players in the first place? Might as well replace them all with macro-bots.
