Maybe it's just me, but I find it lame.

Yea, I agree with you that it seems lackluster. You just sit there hacking away at it with your strongest combo and upkeep your dots. But it COULD be used well by some if they use it outside of being a simple DPS check method. I can see it being nice for testing out NEW combinations to see the time difference with your previous rotation. Perhaps see the difference of upkeeping storm's eye in comparison to just butcher's blocking. Or seeing how much DPS loss it is to use RoH in order to upkeep the debuff in comparison to just spamming awya RA while upkeeping goring blade.

It could also be useful in showing new players entering into higher end game content the difference in combinations of rotations (instead of just saying it) as it's easy to just fly over to the area and watch someone there.

But personally, if I was watching a PLD on any of these and saw they weren't upkeeping goring blade dot and RoH debuff, that would be where I'd be judging (not on whether they could break the dummy). But at the same time, that almost seems slightly dishonest to bring a newbie to this and him thinking he just needs to break the dummy (but will hopefully make him/her better). But overall, in the end, you're not dodging any AoE's, worrying about any mechanics, lag, or checking for debuffs from other team members to maximize your own move sets. All of these things could also be done at ANY testing dummy. The only difference is the hp bar/defense really. You can still see the same results on a normal dummy.

The only difference is the hp bar/defense really.

Mobs (or dummies) don't have defence. HP is the only varying factor. That's why DPS is always the same in similar conditions.
