    I did state that holding aggro, staying alive through the usage of defensive cooldowns and doing mechanics is the bare minimum for a tank (in my opinion). Good tanks can do that while also put out good dps numbers. It's the same argument for healers. Their job is to keep everyone alive, that's the bare minimum which is fine in regular contents but in end-game, you are expected to contribute to dpsing with the exception of being relatively new to the content.

    Which is what a lot of people use FFlogs for. If someone were to try and achieve those good DPS numbers, what better way than to look at what the top players are doing. What their skill usage is. Some people may have used FFlogs are a medium to ridicule people for putting up "mediocre" numbers but that depends on the person.

    That 5k DPS number you're using is probably someone who is i340 or close to i340. Even then not a lot of people can do 5k.

    First off, OP brought up DPS numbers.
    Second, OP mentioned in page 3 that their Warrior is dealing close to 3k (which if it's true, it's generally people who are over i330. Even then there's no real way of telling that the "3k DPS" isn't some made up number without logs/parses. Judging by their fflogs, it's about half of 3k)
