Two questions.

valusthecateater

I have two random, unrelated questions.

First, is it possible for a casual player such as myself to achieve 30k DPS on a Magsorc or Stamblade without having to resort to complicated bar-switching and crazy rotations that require precise timing?

Second (told you they are random and unrelated), are dyes achieved on one character available on you other characters? I.e if I become a vampire and achieve max level, will that dye be available on my non-vamp characters?

Thanks!

Appreciate the info. What is the typical DPS one can expect for one-bar. I have never even found a DPS dummy to practice on, so I have no clue what I am doing now.

There are free test dummies you get as quest rewards, otherwise you need writ vouchers to buy them.

A one bar setup with no concept of animation canceling will probably get you in the 10k-15k range ...

Many guilds that have guild houses will have access to a training dummy for their members.

Most rotations come down to practice. I find that bar swapping is easy, but getting the timing for light attack weaving is much harder for me.

What rotations were you looking at? Most I've used for stamblade are run through your bow bar first, switch to your DW bar, light attack between skills, rinse, repeat. That's an oversimplification, but even with a clumsy rotation, you can easily pull 25-30K

Thanks lol. I am not opposed to learning the finer points--I just have casual questions.

Nothing comes from nothing. Reaching 30k is of medium difficulty. Just watch some videos, read some guides and practice.
But if you don't care about getting better, I don't understand why you would care about some numbers.
