When dps dont aoe should they just get kicked from the start?

Can I just thank you for showing the math on this? Because I'm still new and working on leveling RDM, so I was worried I might have been incorrect in my assumption that it would be better cycling Scatter > alternating main Ver-spells in 3+ mobs. My thinking was that you wear down the pack with the aoe while alternating the single-target skill to a.) build the mana gauges as you stated and b.) knock out one of the enemies faster to more quickly reduce strain on tanks/healers. Haven't gotten far enough in the MSQ to go through dungeons that allow me to utilize my Moulinet and Contre Sixte yet, though I want to learn to put them to good use when I can. I have wondered that after a certain amount of enemies if I should just forgo the Ver-spells in favor of pure aoe...

Anyway, as for the main matter at hand, from this newbie's perspective I think the best thing to do would be to say something along the lines of "try using aoe for 3+, it usually helps things go faster". If they're learning like myself they may appreciate the advice and try to make use of it. Give the person time to put your advice to practice (they might need a bit to acclimate and break their bad habits), and if they seem uncooperative, or antagonistic even, then perhaps act accordingly. But I for one would be discouraged if I got kicked without anyone saying a word to me about what I was doing wrong. I'm also learning it's important to let the group know that you're new and still learning, if that is the case. Ultimately, if everyone's able to communicate and work together then things should go a lot more smoothly with much less frustration. This can be tougher for the duty finder, however, but in that case communication is probably even more important.
