The things I referred to are quite literally, "you have enough DPS to do this or you wipe."

You have enough DPS to kill the four adds in the Gaius fight in the allotted time, or you wipe.

You have enough DPS to break the ice in the Refulgence (Normal) in the allotted time, or you wipe.

Or to add to my original list: You have enough DPS to kill the six adds in the Lv.89 trial, or you wipe.

The fact that failure takes a heroic amount of incompetence at pushing buttons or an inordinate amount of the party tanking the floor does not take away from the fact that there exists a requirement to meet a particular DPS threshold — which is all what a DPS check is. They might be easy DPS checks, but they are still DPS checks.
