If you die to a mechanic that you could have avoided that will also bring your dps down, with it being your fault.

I'd also strongly advice you to get a cheap keyboard for your PS4 so you can communicate with your party - the very least you should do is write yourself a macro informing your party that you're on PS4 and cant type. My personal police is that if I dont get a response from someone in chat, after specifically asking them a question or adressing them directly, I'll assume they're a bot or that they indeed bought the character and havent even figured out how to use a chat yet.

While harrassment, specially the kind that involves directly bringing up parsers, isnt okay and already a reportable offense, your story doesnt really sound like that was the problem and I've never seen anyone being harrassed over parsing-numbers in a dungeon. But I have seen and pointed out myself obvious mistakes people made or asked them to use certain skills - and apparently some people already take that as harrassment...
Well, in my individual scenario in the OP I think the meter use was pretty obvious. It was a boss fight, I died early and the other DPS made a stink about my damage being lower than the healers, seemingly not even realizing I died. Hard to imagine he was just taking a very strong account of visual cues.

As for all the other random instances I've seen, I suppose it's possible they're not all meter related. The comments are never "you should try doing this," it's always just a stupid little jape about how their damage sucks, they're not contributing, being carried, must've bought their character, etc.
