Are we really getting a Dps parsing dummy?

Actually, DD is still useful in such cases because a group doesn't want to cycle too many times through the boss mechanics. The more prolonged a fight, the higher the chance of a wipe at the hands of instant death mechanics or mechanics that are practically instant death. If a group of people finish it with tanks and healers only, power to them. It means there would be more than one way to cook an egg, which can only make the game richer, not poorer.

you can totally cheese a fight with 6 heals/2 tanks though if there are no dps checks. The fight will go on longer, which means more mechanics, but it's not like those mechanics will be just slightly easier, they'll be completely trivialized. Especially since you have 6 resses and no time limit. Almost everyone could die and you could easily recover. Every single fight in the game would just become a battle of attrition. It would absolutely not make the game richer. It would make it silly.

Edit: Also, @ you earlier post, vanilla WoW totally had dps checks. Less of them than now, but they were absolutely there.
