    Left middle on the screen should have mob HP bars and a round icon near it. Green icon = low dps, yellow = good dps, orange = borderline high dps, should stop it or change the target.

    Use a parser. I suggest ACT.

    Not exactly accurate, given the existence of enmity lowering/dropping skills.

    The problem with that is there are 4 to 5 people also hitting it.
    You could deal no dmg at all and it could still go down.

    On the other hand you could deal the most amazing dps ever and it could still not be enough if the rest is subpar.

    Parsers are currently against TOS, SE isn't really enforcing it that much, but they have banned a few people because of their usage.. the people I know of though, posted the results in game.

    So I would be careful about using them, it is a violation of the TOS, but like I said, it seems to be one that SE is letting slide somewhat.

    That has nothing to do with your DPS, it's just a quick-and-easy enmity table for all enemies in combat. It's meant to go along with the specific enmity tables on the party member GUI, which provide the actual enmity list for the enemy you currently have targeted.

    Green = No danger of aggro
    Yellow = drawing aggro
    Orange = You're close to becoming main target
    Red = You're currently the main target




    There's no way to check your literal DPS though. You just have to play it by eye.

    I seem to recall parsers being endorsed by a community rep. Since parsers simply read the log in the game without actually interfering with the game code itself I'm fairly certain they are acceptable. Besides we're confirmed to be getting add-on support eventually in ARR, so kinda hard to ban parsers.

    They are the only passable way of measuring DPS performance, and are incredibly accurate.
