just listed some of the few I know, I don't listen to dubstep often, but when I do it's usually those 3.

I've been really offended lately by people saying 'DubStep' is trash. (Don't take this as a personal attack, I'm not saying this is something you did, but I need to vent)
There's a ton of great artists that have emerged from this (mostly mediocre) genre that is (mainstream) DubStep. There's a ton of different kinds of DubStep. Most of what people consider trash is stuff like Rusko or Caspa...but there's way too many good DubStep artists to call the genre as a whole, trash.
Nero
Burial
Feed Me (More Electro House, but plenty of DubStep)
NOISIA (Doing quite a bit of DubStep lately that's great)
DJ Fresh
Eskmo
Chasing Shadows
Gemini
KOAN Sound
And there's a lot more...
Sorry about the short rant...I could go on but I won't.
tl;dr - DubStep isn't trash. Some of it is, but what genre (ever) doesn't have a ton of crap around the great stuff?
Im totally not calling these guy's trash I'm talking about artists that people who know nothing about the genre post like Bare, Figure, and just the artist who are topping the beatport charts now a days.
The artist that you listed are completely different than the artists I'm talking about, like Gemini, that kid is amazing his first ep, blew me away he is so talented. Nero is another great band. Im totally not calling these guy's trash I'm talking about artists that people who know nothing about the genre post like Bare, Figure, and just the artist who are topping the beatport charts now a days. Im sorry if I'm offending anyone, but the quality of these mainstream recordings are just awful, there is no musicality, no rhythm. The artists that you just posted are totally different the are outliers, they actually produce music, because they want to. Not because it's some fad and their looking to cash-in on it before the well dries up. The only artist I have not heard from your list is KOAN Sound, Burial and Dj Fresh. I'l' check them out it may or may not be my cup of tea. But from the other artists you have listed I am sure they may actually produce quality music.
While Figure is more drumstep than dubstep, I can agree it's obnoxious when you say dubstep and the first words out of people's mouths is "DID YOU HEER SCUUREH MUNSTERS N NEIC SPRITES MAAAAN!? SO AWUSUM" I tried listening to Digital Mystikz for like a week. I can't stand it. It feels empty, dead, and unexciting.
just lovely that every electronic music discussion always seems to turn into a dubstep argument.
