Benchmark is only an indication of a long 1v1 fight (so basically a raid boss), which is from a DPS PoV the only situation where Reaper is really lacking compared to some other classes.
(Beside, how many players are really able to approach these DPS? I'm sure 85 to 90% of the playerbase does not know the optimal rotation for their class/spec.)
In Fractal it's still a powerful class to bring, specially since it gives high AoE dmg while having good sustain.
In WvW it's only good class rather than a great one mainly because of its low mobility but dmg wise it's one of the strongest.

Not only ArcDPS is allowed by aNet but it was made clear that it had been reviewed by devs and that ArcDPS and all its features were officially green-lighted (https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/1570/psa-build-templates-by-arcdps-green-lighted-by-arenanet).
Balance Changes Upcoming

What is the % of players doing CMs? very few (about as much as the % of players really knowing their PvE rotation and able to match Benchmarks' DPS).
Stop looking into patches only with the prism of doing HC content: this is a very small portion of the playerbase and patches will rarely address that population the way they really expect it because it's a minority so patches won't primarily target that segment.
Yes Reaper (or any other form of necro) is not "Benchmark" but benchmark is not everything in the game.
As for WvW, i was talking about roaming. That being said, some guilds still run 1 reaper in their setup, usually in their havoc party if they run one.
