Dungeons are the best place to get muscle memory down on your job. It gives you more wiggle room to watch the rest of your team and see how they're functioning. You got a big bag of tools no matter what your class is. Even if your not an end game raider there's no reason why you shouldn't be using them. Unless you go into a duty with the mindset you're going to half ass it cause it's only a dungeon. We cry when Bards don't sing but there's a huge list of abilities other jobs have that could fall into the same category that no one will ever touch cause breaking out of their rotation to use one ability will hurt their dps. 

I'm sure lots of people couldn't care less about how good they are in the dungeon. Which is all well and good, but if you don't at least try and learn ways to improve your performance then that's a problem. 

Sorry about the rant, I just had to listen to a friend rage how everyone else sucked in our dungeon, yet he was doing the bare minimum for his job and refuses to take any advice on how he can do better.

If it's not required it also means I don't have to do it either.

It goes both ways. Me for example, when it's early in the morning and I'm doing my expert as a tank half the time I don't use stuff like dark dance or another victim, because I don't feel like doing all that shit. Granted there's plenty times where I do use everything to optimal potential but that's only when I'm awake and it's not me auto tanking because lolitstwosomethinginthemorning. Regardless My hp never drops to low levels and the rest of the group never complains because I don't cast salted earth or something. The only reason you even need to do half of those things in regular content is if your party is Just bad. You're not losing anything by it. Yet if people are in a iffy mood an feel like only doing the bare minimum and they DONT complain about anyone else OR get yelled at, why would you care what they did?

Not everyone plays a class to be the best at it, I know people who play ninja solely because they like the animations and they still do decent enough not to get yelled at. As long as stuff dies and everyone lives in average content nobody should care if a BRD didn't sing or something. And if they do? Then they need to find something better to do than trying to criticize what people do when said person didn't ask for their help.

Let bygones be bygones as they say. If a person doesn't ask for your help with playing their class and they aren't causing the party to die or something blatantly crippling, don't worry about what they're doing and just focus on you.
