[Suggestion] Boss DPS requirements

For bosses, we get the health points that each one has for 10 and 25 man raids, or heroics/dungeons. This suggestion is relevant to raid bosses not heroics or dungeons, as they don't have enrage timers.
My idea is that you have an estimated DPS required to kill that boss for 10 and 25 mans.
For 10 mans it's fairly easy to work out: the boss health divided by 6 (2 healers, 2 tanks). This won't be exact as the tanks will be doing some damage but it can be an estimate.
For 25 mans I would guess at 18 dps, 5 healers and 2 tanks as a usual setup.
There's caveats such as in Naxxramas on Thadius where you are doing an extra 40-90% more damage so for these bosses no estimate would be given. Or Obsidian Sanctuam with drakes up, or Eye of Eternity for just phase 1.
But for a large majority I think as wacky as it sounds, it would be a good idea. The main motivator would be so people know exactly how much DPS they actually do need, instead of wild guesses by people who love to see 4 digit figures above 4000.
Not that this comes from bitter experience trying to explain to people that Patchwerk does infact only need 2.5k DPS to be killed before the enrage timer, not 9000!
Thought I'd suggest it anyway, it's probably below the last item on the nice to have list.

It probably won't appear as automatic feature, but I will certainly consider adding something like that. I consider the average raid composition to be pretty much as you said, but I am going to include an average of 1,500 DPS per tank. In reality the OT usually does ~1,000 to 1,400 and the MT: ~1,600 to 2,000.
So yea... I'll see if I can fit it somewhere. If not, I will certainly include it in my Strategist guides (which reminds me that my Razorscale one doesn't have any mentions about DPS...).

The thing is for 10 mans by default you usually have 2 tanks 3 healers and 5 dps. This would be appropriate for those that currently don't have decent gear. If you do 6 dps then I would assume that they are almost or are Ulduar attuned.
