From my experience on then current savage content, mechanics count more in the long run than tight dps checks. You cant clear a dps check without the party doing the dance first and foremost with little to no error. Its a heck a lot harder for groups to fully understand their part in that dance and memorizing mechanics without dying. Once thats figured out, the dps checks usually always clearable.

This is of course saying as the majority rather than the absolute.

While mechanics ARE king, that’s not the full story. Lower dps requires higher performance to beat enrage and the simple fact is, if you can’t do your rotation then you’re not good enough to do mechanics. Besides if someone’s dps is bad enough it can make it harder for everyone else. When you NEED a dps LB3 to beat enrage then you can’t tank LB Cachexia 2 or healer LB3 a bad mess up.

Mechanics you can ignore or mess up become wipes with bad dps.

While I get what you're saying and its kinda true... every screwed a run I've had has been because of people (myself included) taking mechanics to the face, not because the DPS couldnt DPS enough.

There are very few enrages that require the high levels of optimisation parsing is intended for.

The question high end groups need answering is how well players pick up and learn mechanics. Once a group has mechanics down and arent making too many mistakes with those you're probably clearing.
