A DD is limp-wristing so hard that you're taking longer than you should to clear fights or are forced to deal with extra mechanics? Shut up and leave him alone, not everyone wants to speed-run. No.
    This stems from the fact it is far easier to notice a poorly performing Tank or Healer. If they mess up, it'll usually result in deaths or an inevitably wipe. DPS, meanwhile, are only really noticeable if they die or fail a mechanic check. They can pull awful numbers, but unless you pay attention to their rotation, you probably aren't going to notice which one is the lame duck-- except if you're parsing. And that brings its own can of worms.
