Why not consider it a challenge to yourself to get through that?
I'm also mildly annoyed having to carry people through content (someone mentioned Titan EX on the last page, it's not rare to have 5/8 fall down before the fight is over. Do I particulary enjoy being the only dps left standing? Nah.) but like I said time and time again, parsers don't change that. If you feel someone is too bad at playing you can already kick them from your party. The thing is, unless it's TOO extremely bad, most people don't bother waiting for replacements. They make due with what they have, be it a tank who can't keep hate, dps who stand in each and every AoE or healers with a god complex.
So why not challenge yourself and get better to the point where you can get through the content with others not contributing enough or actively hindering you (trolls)?
Why you should change your playstyle, you ask? Well, why should others change theirs to accomodate you? Don't assume that every bad player wants to get carried through content. Maybe they are fine with only clearing it after outgearing it by a lot. It's your own fault you carry them through when they wouldn't be able to do it by themselves yet.
