And, again, it doesn't take into consideration things like party buffs. So the number is inaccurate.

SSS is not a satisfactory measurement of your performance.
Yet, it is a good gauge of knowing your rotations. Something that is sorely needed these days. Sure, it may not be able to show how you perform in content with group buffs, but if you can't do your rotation on a dummy, you sure as heck can't do it while mechanics are happening, and no amount of party buffs will help you then.

It also helps that if you can practice your rotation on a dummy, it then becomes muscle memory, which makes it easier to do while doing mechanics. You stop having to think about what the next step you have to do while playing your job, and can concentrate more on the fight.
