A good old boyish cott

But even when you're doing Duty Finder, or you post on these forums that you don't do Savage, you still get people in your face going "YOU'RE NOT CLIPPING oGCDs! LOOK AT THOSE DPS SPELLS YOU MISSED! YOU MISSED A GCD BECAUSE YOU WERE 0.5s LATE WITH THAT CAST!" like it's top percentile you're supposed to be chasing in Duty Finder.

This just isn't true at all though, this kind of thing never gets said in dungeons, people aren't going around telling healers they need to be in the top percentile in everything they do.
What does happen is sometimes people will say throw some damage out because otherwise you are doing nothing since rate of damage is so low little actual healing is needed. Help the party instead of standing there watching or healing a tank that is at 95% HP. Though most cases it may be noted but nothing ends up being said.
Things really only get said when healers try to justify doing nothing when healing isn't required, when there really is no justification for it.

No, but I have seen that kind of thing said on forums when I share gameplay footage, asking for some "general suggestions" when I specify I am NOT looking for Optimization, but rather more "beginner's" suggestions. Always get the Elitist crowd who talks about doing things to try to push that 1% DPS like I'm on tryouts for Savage Raiding.

I have seen in groups where people would sometimes scoff at not enough DPS, though. I wasn't doing zero DPS, but I will admit at the time, things were dying too fast for me to bother with Aero III (this was back in Stormblood). "Why no Aero III?" "Because the mobs die in less than 10 seconds?" *shrug*
