Practicing combo's on a stationary mob is easier than one that can move.

Macros

Attack range

Ability Rotations

A more consistent gauge for dps. (Mob level can vary in areas and you can't really solo Ifrit can you?)
-Not to mention its hard to test DPS on mobs that die in 15 seconds.


*You may not want this, but if you read the suggestion it would be to put it in an under used part of the Cities, so chance that you would "stumble" across it are low. You would have to go to the area they are housed.*
you can that that all in a real fight too. And you will learn more then just hitting on a dummy.
dont you want to explore your own skills and stregth through a real fight rather then hitting a dummy and see what kind of dmg you do.
I also wonder if you will get any good results, because you have to count in so many factors when calculating dmg. lvl of mob, defense, vit and maybe even more. Mobs have diffrent stats so what stats would you give the dummy?
