I'd like to believe that this cant be the answer and that the actual answer has to be better teaching and gating done by the game itself.
Until then... I'll get through my dungeons with my BLM, request people to play like they're level 70 in level 70 content by asking them to use their basic toolkit and, if that fails, kick them.
A good friend of mine (VanilleFang of now permaban-infamy) enjoys poking fun at me in discord every time I complain about getting bads - I'm just told "You know what happens when you do things by yourself! " but like... okay, yeah, fair enough.

It's also the age-old question when queuing for 24mans in particular; do I heal it for safety, dpsing it for speed/confidence in meeting the dps checks or tank it so that doing the former two doesn't earn me a (deadly) tankbuster to the face?

The game definitely needs to teach people a whole lot more. There are currently several threads going on just on the forums about this same topic.

Personally I feel like with the leaps they've made with having your AI companions perform mechanics (or not perform them, LOOKING AT YOU TATARU D: ) they should redo some of the job quest battles to actually teach you things and use them as gates. Healers actually needing to heal a party, tanks needing to maintain threat and dps having to at least oudtdps those AI xD
