It's for a pretty big reason: improving the average skill of players you get matched with
It's a big gain by making runs faster and causing less wipes.
Bad groups will be less common.
Failing dps checks won't happen as often.
It teaches you more than that. Failing/clearing a dummy with different times lets you know how good/bad your rotation is. Running the dummy multiple times and comparing results lets you know how consistent you are.
