I agree. Two people can say they have an optimal rotation, yet get two wildly different results. There is no way to know to compare them without feedback in the form of numbers. I run with a BRD who used way to many Straight Shots. I chatted with him one day, explained to him the situation and asked to focus on watching the Straight Shot buff and preferring Heavy Shot over Straight Shot. A week later, he improved by around 5dps. Another week, he was improved by around 10dps. Now I'm trying to get him comfortable with using Repelling Shot and Shadowbind (when appropriate) as soon as it's off cooldown.

Also, any kind of personal "dps meter" is useless unless it shows a damage spread and you know some kind of baseline to go by (ie how the damage spread should look, and what the expected average dps should be). You can't really get good measurements on those without input from others.
