It teaches you to hold aggro as a tank, deal efficient damage as a DD, and heal a party as a healer. These are all things that your average player does not do as well as they could(should). So yes it does train you to do endgame content, and since MMO's have moved away from the party-leveling model the quality of your average player at cap has dropped significantly.

I'd take a person who truly knew how to play their role in a group for endgame content over someone with ten million hours logged dodging magma and other ridiculous gimmicks in WoW or FFXIV any day.
