The SSS dummy should explode and kill the player if they fail to defeat it in time.

While his example may have been extreme, we cannot say that gear is entirely irrelevant regarding SSS. An i205 DRG will dps higher than an i215 DRG with the same rotation, for example.

Let's not make arguments based off of rng damage. At 205 you have enough dps to clear the dummy without getting lucky if you play properly. Not seeing how comparing how a person 10 ilvls lower can do more damage because either he is lucky (doesn't matter, pretty sure you can clear it with a 0% crit rate) or the higher lvl player sucks ( why are you considering bad players in an argument about dps).
