To begin with, I don't think SAG as a barrier healer would fight against a pure healer for a spot.

We can assume 6.1 will come about that time and in certain situations, like RDM vs SMN DPS. There are pretty close so you can't really tell. That said, there are some clear anomalies. BLM t=doing 7% more than other casters. Top DPS being 12% above to worst.

1 - It completely ignores the buff you bring.
For example, DNC dance and the buff it gives to teammates? Ignored.
Songs by BRD? Ignored.

Using money, if you have 100€ in your pocket but lended 20€ to each teammates, pDPS would still consider you have 100€.

2 - It also ignores the buffs.
For example, you're getting buffed by DNC, you deal 13k DPS. That's your personal DPS.
Example 2, you're not getting buffed by DNC, you deal 10k DPS. pDPS doesn't care, that's still your personal DPS.

Using money again, you have 250€ but borrowed 100€ from each teammates. pDPS ignores what you ower and still consider you have 250€.
I do think "selfish" shouldnt mean they must do the top DPS. "selfish" means the provide no raid buff. They, however, enable raid buffs to be stronger and rDPS properly tax their share so it's fine. There are merits to say not to bring SAM+BLM+MCH in the same party but I honestly feel like it fill the flex spot just fine.
