It was the kick in the pants I needed to get better. If I'd never seen that I'd probably still be terrible. No one had ever said anything about my performance, though I'm certain that I frustrated a ton of players with how bad I was.

If players aren't allowed to let people know that there is significant room to improve and provide feedback on how to do so, then the game needs to. Being given a rating compared to other players at the end of instances would be a good start.
Yeah... No it's not. This is more attributed to supporters of parsers getting their voice to be acknowledged and heard throughout the community. While this is not necessarily a bad thing because it does promote better play, the unfortunate thing about it is that they make a bigger issue than what is realistically present.

If we were to go by that philosophy than every PS4 player would suck. Do you truly believe that? Are you going to tell every console player right here and now that they have no place in high end duties?

Truth of the matter ties into what the OP is talking about. The common denominator is so low now that if you care about your performance and rotation; you actually read and understand tooltips; then you are already better than 80% of the players out there.
