The problem is, what do you do if you know said person, especially if they've been in your guild for years. Because there are definitely some people out there that no matter what you do, no matter how many threads on Theorycraft they read and no matter how much coaching you give them, they will still be not only below average, but might possibly be detrimental to your raid (depending on the encounter obviously).

This is true. However, I've also noticed that people tend to assume that people are like this without actually testing the theory, because it's a very uncomfortable thing to go to someone and tell them "You're bad." I was very startled when I actually started talking to some of the players in my guild. They'd heard the advice, but they'd actually thought that they were "doing well" and were surprised to hear that I--and the other leadership--found their performance to be poor. One of the players who was surprised was a DPS class who was occasionally beaten by tanks on the meters. And yet he truly was honestly surprised and shocked to hear that he was doing badly.
