I wouldn't think of someone in great gear who goes over strategies and helps people out as "elite" in the same sense - I think someone can be a good player without needing the shinies to back it up, and I think that having shinies doesn't equate you with being good either. Interesting to read Berrod's take on it.Man sorry it's 5:30am in the morning and that idea completely whooshed over my mind until you said it. That is... quite stupid yep. Heavy Thrust needs 100% uptime.

@Kage - I didn't mean missing due to accuracy, I meant Heavy Thrust not being a part of a rotation at all. The bane of 1-2-3 dragoons is something that makes my eye twitch.
To be honest, I've always seen the word 'elitism' or 'elitist' as one having a negative connotation. Usually people who start to take on the elitist title view their opinion as the 'best' or 'better' and believe others to have an inferior position. Thus, they also want to dominate everyone else with whatever particular idea they have. For example, in gameplay, the top 5% of BLM will do 600 DPS in endgame. Now all BLM must do 600 dps. (Random numbers out of my ass.)
