It's not all about the numbers all the time but there certainly are failures that come down to not having the dps numbers. Either you haven't experienced that in progression content or you are lucky enough to have a group that could pull it off out of the gates.

I raided back when T5 was pre echo and most not even close to i90... We couldn't make all the dps checks. It was a problem, team worked on improving their numbers. We then had success. Sometimes it is about the numbers. And that is why we want to parse. Not because it is always about the numbers but that it sometimes is about them.
