Just like if a tank cannot hold aggro or a healer that does heal objectively fails at their role.

Or are we going to say that irrelevant cause they content was cleared? Also I have cleared content with tanks that refuse to hold aggro is it really safe to say they were competent players / did not under perform.
When a tank loses aggro, the party has to try to adapt and there is a possibility of a wipe, and if you wipe, then you cannot accomplish the task of completing the content, so you are underperforming in that case.

When a damage dealer outputs lower dps than a tank/healer, the fight just takes longer unless there is a DPS check. If there is a DPS check, then they are underperforming if the party hits enrage. Otherwise, if there is no dps check, it is irrelevant. It becomes the party's decision of how to go about it, not the game's.
