Like I told VeyaAkemi, I don't know how much the fact you'd be with randoms that don't have the best optimization in mind would skew the results, but if that helped you do better, then it's a good thing :3
In most cases, randoms can't impact all that much.
Because the most important part is how well you kept dot uptime/ uptime, if you kept your cooldowns on cooldown, if you managed to use your strong skills during buffs - and while a tank can screw a bit of melee uptime from time to time by being terrible at pulling the boss or someone could screw your caster uptime by standing on you with a mechanic and you have a choice between cancelling the cast and moving or dying, the overall impact is fairly low.
While the parse number itself can give you a rough overview, the analysis is the more important part.
If you walk out with a 40 on DNC because nobody managed to do more dps than the AST but have a really clean xiva, you played well. Doesn't matter if you got a shiny number for it or not, you did well.
I've seen ASTs walk out with an orange in savage clears where the entire group was single digit grey. What matters most is still your personal performance and the better you are at that, the less something like a tank pulling a boss poorly or someone trying to make you into roadkill with spreadmarkers will impact your dps.
