It tells me nothing about it and I really found it useless because it only says that I got enough to kill a boss, yeah, but on the best case scenario with no mechanics and my cd done all at once on a burst.

On the other hand, that link is very useful: it might not be accurate, but it definitely helped me to have a rough estimate of my own dps so kudos on whoever made it.
The dummy's health is actually adjusted to make up for the lack of mechanics, and then a little bit of extra. If you can take down the dummy easily enough, you should definitely have enough DPS for the encounter if you don't mess up the mechanics.
