You can have a horrible healer in i520 gear that ruins a run or also a i510 healer that knows what they're doing (could be the other way around too - but its not the itemlevel number that matters).
Also note that on healer itemlevel makes a smaller difference than on dps, as there's generally more healing tools than necessary - and the difference in dps is smaller on a healer compared to a dps' gear.

But even on a dps, one that knows what they're doing will output more damage than someone clueless even if their gearlevel is a bit lower. Gearlevel indicates grinding and time investment, not expertise with a class.

You aren't taking into account how simple the PF is. How would you create filters like that? Or better yet how would SE build more functions into PF? People need to pick from the filters that are available. Getting upset about being excluded because of ilvl like the OP, seems weird.
