Yes I just did the easy thing and used the standard golen setup for benchmarks.
I don't think you can just convert the dps to any actual encounter. It strongly depends on the fight and how long you can stick to the target. It just shows how much damage is possible without doing anything for your rotation. However you can see that you can probably reach about 30% of the benchmarks just by auto attacking (on some builds). Once again, there is no shame in using an easy or low intensity build to fulfill your role. Gw2 is very easy in most aspects and elitie level skill isn't required for basically anything.
Is it not even possible to estimate this for the Cosmic Observatory case? I'm surprised. My guess would have been around 5K.
With experience you can probably do it. But there is no formula for it. My guess would be around 8k, but you can get unlucky with mechanics or get good/bad support, so it's not that reliable.
If you want to see how you perform, I recommend the golem in the aerodrome. As a boon dps I usually run a more utility orientated build in that fractal to boost my groups dps.
