In my opinion this is not good. It would falsely inflate or deflate egos. Someone could be like "wow I'm first in dps!" but little do they know they're only 1% ahead of both the tank and other dps. Or on the flip side someone being upset that they're always second and they have no clue how close their dps is to whoever is first. Or even someone always being second thinking it's okay for them to be second because they're a dps and they have no idea that their dps is barely over the tank, which is actually bad at high lvl.

Either have a proper parser or have none. Rankings with zero information attached are basically useless because they can too easily give a very false impression of performance.
