Possibly this is simpler than even this forum wants to deal with, but here goes.

As an unguilded casual raider (well, I was guilded under the hackers came along...), I find that I've pugged my way to where I am now. My gear isn't really that bad, however I often find myself at the bottom of the DPS chart. Considering I'm following the 3/15/55 rotation found on these forums, I'm left to assume that it's just me buggering up.

Here's where the problem comes in; I have no idea what my base is to be looking at for DPS. According to wow-heroes, my gear puts me ready for Ulduar, Onyxia and ToCr10, and Eye and Ulduar25. However nothing tells me what my DPS output should be for those so that I am able to tell when I've got my rotation timing down correctly.

Is there any kind of list or means of comparing DPS by raid? Preferably self-buffed on a training dummy, so that I can practice and know what I'm aiming for? Gear is nice, but it doesn't reflect skill, and somehow I don't think that 2600 self-buffed is enough to go charging into Ulduar25. Something that says "If your gear is on-par with Onyxia10, you should be doing _____ DPS. If your gear is on par with Ulduar25, you should be doing ____ DPS" would be immensely helpful, as I've yet to find an accurate and reliable one (people that are pugging seem to think that I should be doing like 9k DPS self-buffed to get into any of their raids).
