never mind that that magical number was achieved under a specific set of circumstances, using the very best available gear, party composition and the most perfect rotation that ever did rotate.

DPS isn't everything. The average user of a damage meter looks at the lowest person on the list and rants at them or outright kicks them. That's going to be every Bard and MCH ever, since those Jobs aren't designed to push maximum DPS, nor will fight mechanics be taken into consideration.
Monk on anything that causes you to lose GL3 frequently? /kick.
Black Mage on anything that interrupts Enochian? /kick.
etc etc.

Theres enough "you need to perform this magical number or you can't do this content" already without having a built in signboard ramming pretty numbers down our eye sockets with no regard to circumstance.
