This game needs better DPS feedback

I didn't say it could be "measured" nor was I referring to end game content or multiple targets, so please don't try to invalidate what I said based on those points.

If you're using an enmity reducing skill, its common sense to realise that's why you're low on the aggro meter. That's clearly not what I was referring to. I was referring to people who are under performing (as you even quoted) and noticing that personally. If your DPS is really that bad like the OP is describing you wouldn't even need to use an enmity cool down.

My point was, based on my experience, that bards were clearly out DPSing a black mage which was also blatantly obvious on the aggro meter. The black mage was casting random spells and using Blizzard at full mana, and his gear was pretty bad.

If you're really that bad, yes, the aggro meter will show it. You can try to invalidate me all you like, but I've seen it multiple times for myself. The parse numbers people threw out also proved it. I never said it measured DPS, I said it gave a good idea. If you're a monk against 3 bards and you're 8th on the aggro meter without using an enmity reducer, you don't need to be parsed to know you're not doing very well.
