It won't tell you I could barely DPS because the OT got caught in yet another Clamp and got blasted to infinity, or that one DPS just couldn't get his head around the rise-and-balloon bounce of O2S, wiping themselves and others out. But when I mitigate tankbusters, rescue people from the edge of death time and again, when I time my little galaxy sphere to go off just after a big AoE, or just after Chary goes off knocking everyone's HP down to 1...that's just recorded as HP recovered, like anything else. Do I overheal? Hell yeah. In a PUG I have no idea how the other seven are going to act, and how well they can handle self-mitigation and cooldowns, so I have to overcompensate.

But FFLogs doesn't take any of that into account. Just DPS and overheal. I'm guessing my logs won't show anything but a terrible healer. For self-study and improvement, FFLogs is fine. But it simply does not take enough variables into account to present a fully accurate picture of others to pass judgement on.
I don't mean to burst your bubble, but according to your most recent o1s log, your whm cohealer actually spent more gcds healing than you did, and yet they did over 2k dps whereas you did about 1/8 the damage of the whm. I got my healer friend to help me read it since I'm just a filthy tank and not a healer, and they said you had almost half the casts of the whm(you only had 117 versus the whm's 206) and that your casts were all spread apart. So basically, there's a lot of time where you're just standing around doing nothing at all. Oh, and you only revived someone once whereas the whm revived the other two times. Just like Oscura said, there's a lot of information you get get from fflogs.
