Too many DPS in m+: A different perspective

Yeah this plan of action would just expand the requirement for running meta comps and likely end up just flat out leaving a ton of specs out when they don’t contribute enough to a specific DPS check. The DPS check doesn’t have to be the one thing that defines the meta. It can be heal checks and defensives too for example.

Depends entirely on the number set.
For example the Dark Pulse in third boss in CoT has a wide enough margin for error for all healers to be able to handle it without having to be a meta pick, but it remains a heal check.

Sure. But the margin for error would be wide enough it doesn’t accomplish any of the stated goals

Either it’s tight enough the meta means even more at lower keys, or its wide enough you can still easily hard carry

The stated goals is to make it harder to hard-carry, and to put some responsibility on top of DPS.
It might be tuned so that if 1 DPS dies it can still be completed, but if 2 are dead it’s impossible. That would still be a bigger responsibility than what they have today, as all 3 can currently be dead for an entire boss encounter, but the boss will still be killed by the tank and healer (after a darn long time).

Edit:
Someone pointed out that this would conflict with the idea of maing hard-carries at recommended ilvl impossible, and they’re right. I withdraw from this and I think that if everyone is at recommended ilvl, a dead DPS should be mathematically impossible to hard-carry through a DPS check.
Ress that DPS or accept the inevitable wipe as a punishment for failing.
