As said, i don't think that to be true. The problem is the feedback loop. When healers or tanks make mistakes, usually the group will wipe. If adds were not taken, the tank will have no choice but to realize he messed up. If tanks died, either the tank messed up their CD or healer focused on the wrong thing. Not ALL tanks and healers will take notice, but a significant proportion will.

When a dps make mistakes repeatedly, due to the absence of feedback if he doesn't use a parser, he will most likely bo completely oblivious to those mistakes. There is literally zero chance for him to realize he does not do things properly without someone stepping in and telling him that he does things wrong, which will end badly for the group more likely than not.

Over time, what you end up with is a situation where tanks and healers get much better at their respective roles than DPS at theirs, because of the difference in natural feedback. Not all tanks and healers will be great, far from it, and not all DPS will suck balls, obviously, but statistically speaking ? Yeah there are a lot more DPS that not only suck at their job, but are completely clueless about it, compared to tanks and healers, for which a much greater proportion of their respective playerbase will have at least some understanding of how they should play their role.
