Sure it's not a meassure of a DPS. But it still shows you a good approximation in relation to the rest(just looking at the dps enmity bars). If a DPS even with quelling strikes or elusive jump is way ahead of the rest of the DPS you know something is wrong with whoever is the low hanging fruit(i.e. if a DPS is at 80% of the bar while the others at ~50% while one is at 10% something is wrong there). I see it often when I as a bard am right after the tank on enmity in fights(or near so). Even with quelling strikes opening I'll get there fast often enough. Though I love testing out tanks with non quelling strikes openings(I prefer to use quelling for adds so I don't pull them and screw stuff up).
