I kinda do. If a tank screws up, it's pretty obvious (Loses aggro, doesn't pick up adds, etc). If a healer screws up, pretty obvious (Players dying to unavoidable damage). If a DPS screws up, it's pretty hard to tell WHICH DPS screwed up and how. I can offer advice to a tank and healer on what to do to not screw up, because tanks and healers are less about rotations and more about individual abilities. If we're hitting the enrage timer multiple times in a row, we obviously have a DPS issue...we just don't know what that issue is. I can't give advice to a Monk on their rotation if I don't know if the Monk is the one screwing up.

And don't bring up gear. You can hit i90 or above by hitting 4 man dungeons, there's no real way to tell by gear alone. Some really geared players are simply clueless about their rotation and consistently pull less numbers than their lesser-geared counterparts.
