Please stop with the "no duplicates" and pigeon-holing our DPS into tiny windows

A DPS check, last I heard, tests the DPS of the party. Please explain to me how it's still a DPS check when a defensive tank action can bypass it?

A tank LB check? Please explain to me how a tank LB check can be bypassed by doing enough DPS to it?

Also, you don't seem the kind of person who would see a strange occurrence w/o jumping to conclusions as to what caused it, rather than admitting it's an unknown, until enough evidence is presented to suggest otherwise.

EDIT: They had a similar issue with phase skipping, due to high DPS in some cases, because they wanted a boss to change up its mechanics when it reaches different tiers of HP. (Titan HM being an example of it 1st being implemented, where phase skipping wasnt really a thought on their minds, they just assume the boss changes its rotation to throw off the players) Players took advantage of it, and now bosses are designed with it in mind.
They bypassed mechanics by having the DPS do something they werent really thinking about, that would otherwise have been a tank/healer/group mechanic.
