Still don't see it... as a dps, I have an ability that does X damage. I use it, it does X damage. I don't need a tool that tells me how much damage it's doing. I can't push a button hard to make it do more damage. It does what it does.

Now, understanding your full range of abilities & cross class abilities by reading description text, tells me that if I prebuff with raging strikes I'll get a 20% boost for 20s. So that ability that that did X damage now does X + 20%.
