You know the only reason it comes up is because there is a higher standard than the player that just sits there and jumps around with nothing to do. If out of the 10x you run the same instance and you notice 3 of them just non-stop overheal, you know what a good and not-so-good player consists of. DPS that keeps a solid rotation, keeps their buffs up and does good damage. Or a tank that uses all their cooldowns defensively and offensively (like turning off tank stances, using mitigation to compensate, and using their AoEs) to contribute more damage.

That isn't to say in easier content you must be throwing every waking second on heals or DPS. Even just tossing up dots and an occasional nuke here. Or in simplest terms, putting some damage on-the-board. That is enough to put someone in better than most category. Playing at a higher level than most players is never a bad thing. Comfort factor is built-up over time.
