If you're hitting enrage then your dps are NOT doing their jobs properly.

Doing the mechanics correctly is good. That's often the hard part of learning a fight. But every party member also has the job of contributing to the boss' death. If you're hitting an enrage timer then your party is not meeting the dps check on the fight. I don't especially care whether I'm "beating" another dps on numbers or not, but if they're severely underperforming then they aren't doing their job. Keep in mind please we're talking about a party that otherwise wins the fight if not for poor dps.
