I've seen it happen on more than one occasion: a group with an average ilvl 100+ (which is over 15 ilvls higher than the minimum requirement) wiping multiple times to Judgment Bolt. That's not a gear issue, that's a "people don't know how to play their jobs" issue. At least people who are i110 might be able to kill the adds simply by virtue of their ilvl even if their rotation is terrible.

It's hardly ridiculous to expect people to be competent at their role if they're going to participate in endgame content. The fact that we can't expect that is what leads to high ilvl requirements and "three strikes you're out" rules.
Exactly this. There is a reason people will demand a higher iLvL than necessary and that's because if people under perform at the expected iLvL (which is is quite often in Party Finder), then one of the only way to make sure the necessary checks are met is by demanding for people to overgear the content to compensate for their lack of performance.
