NO!
I have played multiple MMO's (EQ and EQ2, SWG, LOTRO, Warhammer, COH/COV, WoW, etc etc) and never saw use for a tool such as Recount. Some argue the importance of it for tracking your own progress, but progress is not determined by having the highest amount of dps/heals. A player should be able to gauge the use of CD's and avoid spamming skills on their own without keeping their eyes locked on a meter. As for using it to see if someone in your party is "doing their job", you would need to know the skills for all classes so you know what they are actually doing when you check their "work" if you rely on details from an addon. Some classes are support roles and may not do high dps but have advanced CC skills which are used more often to the advantage of the entire group. You would have to see exactly which skills they are using and how often...and by then you aren't paying attention to the game anyways so what does it matter? People have been able to identify and kick lazy players from groups well enough without the use of addons.
When the importance of numbers becomes the main focus of a game, it ruins the community by promoting elitism amongst players shrouded by the deindividuation of internet anonymity.
