It really is. I've met equally geared Monks who literally put out less than half the DPS I do. Item level (And also to an extent which pieces at each iLvl) just defines the maximum potential output, not the amount a player's actually capable of outputting.

I can't really offer you numbers, except that 350-400 is the kind of numbers that are generally acceptable to take into final coil (Although you can do higher than that, and that's a good thing if you can).

As for healing? The reality is that actually, huge HPS is actually not a good thing, because in almost every fight in the game that amount of healing means a massive amount of overhealing being done, which is huge amounts of casts and MP being wasted.
