Would you like an in-game parser?

I just have one question for you. By "any skill" do you actually mean "every skill"? I ask because it makes a difference: not using any skill can mean using no skills at all or not using one skill in particular. Every skill means, well they should be using every skill they get.

Yeah good question, what I meant was using 1 skill in particular, like DRG's not using blood of dragons, blms not using enochian. Keep in mind I know it's hard to keep up between pulls but using will still increase your dmg and help killing adds faster. Some people ignore this. Like some brds wont use their 30% dmg stance (forgot the name). Or some brds just manually cast their dots instead of re-applyin it with their new skill. Just a few examples. Glad you asked tho, so I could make myself more clear.

Do you bother checking gear on every DPS when you enter a roulette ?
Considering Antitower and Amdapor are unlocked at ilvl 180 and the max ilvl you can attain is 240, it's expected to have a huge window of acceptable DPS numbers.

Not really, but when you see a guy is about 10-15 Ilvl behind another person and has weaker weapon, but does more, something wrong is going on. The dps checks exist in this game because that makes the game balanced. Healers have to heal certain aoe, tank busters, while tank has to handle them, that's where the dps comes in and needs to do their job. Imagine if every tank and healer had the same way of attitude many dps people have? Don't you think there would been alot more wipes in roulettes? I'm sure it would.

Is it going to harm anyone if I relax a bit and go down to "good" status for content that doesn't require me to play at peak performance?

Edit: regarding your comment about "relaxing in a stressful situation". The answer to that is that you hit the best button for the situation, if you have to heal then heal, if you have room to DPS then do so. All of your buttons are there for a reason and should be recognised as such. Now obviously you don't have to use them all (fluid aura being extreamly situational for example), but at least recognising where you would use each skill is recommended (if not essential) for hardcore content.

What he said. I want to add that there is many times both healers doesn't need to even heal at all and that leaves either healer alone to do soemthing else. I find raid amazingly fun to heal, because I was intended to heal since final coil but never happened and I was put as DPS. Now we found some cool ninja for the group so I said it's fine to go sch, because I've always wanted to try. It's perfect for me because I know how our WHM heals and it lets me do more than just dmg mitigation/healing for the group.
