    If you parse exceedingly well on a dummy, chances are, you'd parse well in a fight. The knowledge of how to maintain stacks, buffs, DoTs, and other systems doesn't magically disappear when you walk into a raid. It takes time to fine-tune for mechanics, of course. But otherwise, a dummy parse is a pretty great tell of someone's ability to DPS. The only thing that's different about most fights is how to DPS when an add is involved. At that point, you need understanding of how to multi-dot if your Job is well capable, but that's about it.
