When I was playing I would sometimes go and try to help people with P1S and P2S. I probably won't do it anymore cause a lot of the players I was going out of my way to help were very rude, and would get an attitude with me when I would try to explain mechanics to them.

So it just seems like progging it in PF will just repeat in the same failures over and over from night to night due to the lack of uniformity between groups with people who can't complete previous mechanics.

And again, anecdotally I have never really seen anything like what you guys are claiming being advertised in the PF. All I ever see is on one end of the spectrum Duty Complete/Reclear parties and on the other are half-full practice/prog parties that either never fill, or just keep getting relisted after half an hour minus 2-3 people from the previous run.

I don't have a uniform set of time I can set aside on a weekly basis to even attempt to join a static and it just seems like trying to prog any of the current Savages when I do have a couple hours to spare will just be an exercise in frustration. The chance of completion seems entirely based on getting lucky with a unicorn comp or a prog that manages to get everything right. How much time burned trying to find a group capable of progressing at all from one night to the next seems like it is an inordinate time sink.
Best if you are your party leader, you create the party and set x standard whether is be prog for a certain mechanic or a clear group or what ever. If some one it holding you back simply replace them.
Personally I usually do all my progs blind with a friend so we will set up a PF and go at it blind for a night. Next day we will go ahead and maybe look up a guide (usually we already know the mechanics and don't need to) and we start working on a clear. It can take longer than having a static group, but that is why you are the party leader and replace people as needed.
