the only real diff is not doing the huge combine pulls, and even with not doing those, can still sub 20 mins there. You disagree because most pug dps are overall bad with the situation not something you seen. Theory crafting only goes so far.
No, but I've had a level 70 tank wearing Augmented Shire gear (weapon, armour and accessories). We made some progress with the trash mobs (one at a time, constantly ripping hate because Diversion was always on cool down), but eventually the tank just couldn't survive because they don't have the defence (and had around 38k HP). Once the tank was KO'd, everyone else eventually fell. Against trash mobs.

Tank 'DC'd,' we kicked them and got a WAR a few seconds later and cleared the dungeon with no issues. If a tank and a healer are not allowed to get a free pass for wearing shoddy gear, neither do the DPS.
