Tried my rotation on a training dummy and I’m doing ~48k dps with Shadowfiend, PI and Void Eruption used. Just wanted to check if my numbers are normal or if it’s too low.
I’m using the Shadow Crash raid build from Wowhead.
I’m iLvL 409, and on a dungeoneer target dummy I did 47K on my best 3 minute stretch:
I start the “pull” using VT/ShadowFiend and the go the full 3 minutes until Shadowfiend is off cooldown, and then stop (without using shadowfiend a second time).
I’d say that I’m a pretty sub par player, so I wouldn’t be surprised if other people do way better with the same gear. But I was pleased that I improved from 39K to 47K by practicing and adjusting the UI some.

You can go sim yourself at raidbots. It’ll tell you exactly how much DPS you should be doing assuming perfect play. And you can pick up the simulationcraft addon to quickly import your build and gear into raidbots.
Alternatively, you can look at warcraftlogs and directly look at what other people have done or general statistics. You can look up specific fights with your spec and filter by item level. I took a quick look at normal Magmorax (a pure single target fight) for the last 2 weeks. Median damage is about 48k, so you’re doing about average compared to other people for your item level. The best performer over the last 2 weeks is about 72k. So you “should” be doing somewhere around 72k assuming perfect play.

I’d offer a slight addendum to that -
perfect play may not get you to 72k if there are differences in enchants, consumables, and most notably - if anyone is passing you buffs.
I have a (possibly bad?) habit of seeing who’s doing the most dps in my LFR raids, and passing them Power Infusion (unless I give to a healer) in the thoughts that that’s the best way to make the overall raid do better.
Maybe warcraft logs shows those buffs so you can “discount” them, but in general while I’d say that it’s a really good way to “target” perfect play, it still may be impossible unless you had a raid dumping any available buffs on you as well.

WCL does show those buffs and you can filter them out. In reality the all-time, un-externally-buffed top parse for that fight/ilvl/difficulty was about 82k. 72k definitely felt like a safe bet for a target.

That’s great info - thank you!
Thank you so much for the advice! I don’t use RB and WCL a lot so I didn’t know that they could do that, but I think I may have to from now on.
