That's not an issue at all. It is known (thanks to parsers!) how much party DPS is required for each fight to beat the enrage. It is also well known (again, thanks to parsers!) what is the average DPS number for each job in each fight. So it's quite easy to take the required group DPS and then divide it between party members in a reasonable manner (so one isn't asked to be in top 10% of their job while the other is asked to be in the bottom 10%, for example). Again, I'm talking about content with DPS checks, where the game itself sets certain numbers everyone has to meet for the team to be able to win.

Then there's another chance that the group will set their own requirements. In this case they're either checking logs beforehand and or asking for certain DPS number from the people who wish to join. There already are tons of groups like this and people are free to start them or join them or not to join them as they want. These groups too are already happening, so having an official parter wouldn't change that in any way.
