You would kind of have to hope you are doing enough DPS, and hope that you are able to keep up with the rest of your party, or that they keep up with you. As well as eventually, people are going to share their numbers anyway, so might as well not limit it to just personal DPS meter.
    Seeing your own numbers allows you to test rotations/equipment to improve, to see what all you can do to achieve higher dps.

    And if you knew your own numbers you could share with them others to determine whether they're good or not. The sharing part is entirely up to you. Actually, you wouldn't have to share to know whether yours are good. You could compare by what others post. People posting that you need 300 dps for X. Your parser shows you with 280. You would then know you need to step up your game.

    As a dps, not knowing how much dps you're actually putting out is rather dumb. You shouldn't have to theorize about what's best. You should be able to test it yourself. It's like tanks not having enmity meters. They don't have to guess how close their enmity is to others. There's a convenient bar that shows them exactly what it is. Dps need something that shows how much they're doing. To know what is best and know if they need to improve.
