At an extreme end, you can make tank/healer DPS a nonfactor in group content and make DPS actually live up more to their role.
Not that I disagree with what you said but I guess my point is, ultimately, SSS is better than anything proposed in this thread so far. Well, aside from just parsing. But for an in game way to gauge performance, nothing proposed here so far does any good.
