I absolutely abhor the fact that every time these topics come up, there are several people who pull the "I shouldn't have to pick up the slack of the DPS" card.

Literally no one is saying that the DPS in these hypothetical examples are doing poorly. Even if the DPS are doing amazing - brace yourself for this one - there ISN'T a cap on damage. The more you contribute, the better the run is going to go, and that's all there is to it.

As the game is, I don't blame people for being wary of Cleric Stance. It can be scary. If you are going to just be obstinate and refuse to TRY come 4.0, however, you can have a big old boot.
