TBH, I agree that a threat meter is a luxury not a necessity. Also, I understand the general aversion to DPS meters, however I think a DPS meter is a very useful tool, and would much rather see that in this game than a threat meter. A DPS meter allows for two things. One, it allows for anyone playing a DPS role to gauge their performance, and learn how to optimize their DPS. Two, it allows for "raid leaders" to hold their DPS accountable, to be able to say 'hey you did less DPS than the healer, stop picking your nose, and carry your weight.'
