The difference is a 1200 DPS parse on a dummy vs. a 800-870 parse on an actual boss. This can get better with experience on a particular fight, but you'll never get those dummy parses in practice due to movement and mechanics.
I agree, movements means it's nearly impossible to hit 100% positional for melee. Even more true during progression.
