Gear doesn't mean you are good, gear doesn't mean you are bad either. What matters is the results and WoL website offers a lot of information about someone who is applying for a raid group spot.

I would love a recount in D3, not to brag but to improve myself.
Damage done in D3 isn't same as in wow, but overall/or spesific damage done can tell you a lot of details.
A "recount" in D3 could only show your own damage done/damage taken stats. I would be really happy with that. It could show me that I am doing really badly if I compare it to my friends stats. It also could show that we are doing quite equal ammount of damage and thus we would need a diffrent approach on the boss we are having trouble with.
Recount is a valuable tool in WoW. Similar UI element could be a nice thing to D3 IF it would be compleatly private. A tool that you could use to analyze your and only your performance. You could share your data with friends through chat, voip or in real life or you just could forget about it if you are playing in pug.
Oh sure, join a game, a player asks you "you xxxxDPS on Z boss!?!!?" go ahead and lie "sure, I can do that". Or if you wipe, talk with the guys about having a diffrent approach or leave the game and join the next one. If you succeed, enjoy the loot springing out of the dead boss.
Anyways, I think I have derailed from my original train of thought a bit but that's what drinking can do for you.
What I tried to say is that private damage meter / log could be useful, although never ever really needed.
