Pretty much this.

I was at P3S enrage going into week 2 with strictly PF groups and got my kill on Wednesday of week 2. The group wasn't the BEST as far as skill or consistency are concerned, but they knew the fight and we hammered out a kill over 6 or 7 hours of optimizing things together. We didn't even do Elmo strats in the end because we needed the extra melee uptime, and we got the kill that way!

A few weeks ago, I hopped into a random P1S "clear party" to practice my BLM rotation and it was a complete dumpster fire. One guy had a macro describing some scheme for Fourfold that basically turned it into Akanthai Act 2 with how much movement it required, two people tilted off the face of the earth when I proposed we do the timers strat (that was listed in the PF description as what we were actually doing for Fourfold...), I still have no idea who "joonbob" is or why a fight broke out over whether we were doing that strat or "tank takes damage down" for Intemperance, and the best part is that the party somehow lasted until the lockout ended and we still hadn't even come close to seeing enrage due to constant Fourfold and Intemperance wipes.

Y'all really are dealing with the bottom of the barrel in PF nowadays. Find a static with times that work for you, be honest with them about your progress, let them trial you, and if things work out, you'll very quickly be glad that you went through the effort.
