If I made a Maslow's Hierarchy of raid needs:
Apex: Theorycrafting
Gear, item level, raid make-up, spec, etc.
Guild and server
Computer, internet, lag, UI, etc.
Base: Enchants, gems, consumables, etc.
Theorycrafting is self-actualization that most people don't even worry about until the other needs are met. For example, Cahn is bringing us down by claiming we lack the gear. People who have 1000ms and can't stay connected probably don't even bother theorycrafting. And every time people bitch about the player pool of Scilla they are just reaffirming a lack of ability to obtain better gear, item level, and raid make-ups.
I don't know what I'm getting at here other than maybe start with the smaller things? Check that DPS is using consumables and not lagging the fuck out. Clear the server out of any available talent.
Asking people to research and theorycraft top ranked players to improve DPS is pretty farfetched.
