Dps is viable for PvP and PvE. When folks get competitive in a game like this, it's a lot easier to compare skill/build/talent/gear through the established standard - dps, and, by extension, PvP.

You would comparing healing meters, but outside of a raid, how often to you have two or three competitive healers? And, tanking is similar. A group that has three guys competing to try to get highest on the 'damaged recieved' meter is probably going to be a comlete disaster.

Everyone want to be the guy who kills the bad guy. Not a lot of folks want to be the guy who takes the beating from the bad guy, or, even, healing the guy who takes the beating from the bad guy.
