How much dps do you think the playerbase is doing?

Well, my rotation was basically crit surge, light attack, hurricane, light attack, endless hail, light attack, barbed trap, swap crystal weapon light attack, until repeat. I find 2h clunky and slow, but it’s fun so will keep trying

[snip] 19k is okay and not doable without a rotation. Plus its enough to do almost anything besides Vet DLC and Vet Trials.

From my experience teach players most untrained players fall within the 5-15k realm (3 mil). There are a number of factors that go into that range.

1. How much research they have done beforehand.
2. Race/class spec they have chosen, some specs play stronger at lower end.
3. Adaption to DPS techniques (IE. weaving, animation canceling, etc)

Most that stuck with it can achieve 20k within a month easily, but without guidance (from an experienced player or self research via online resources) I doubt they would achieve it otherwise.

Because of this I would gauge the average DPS to sit somewhere around 12.5k for the entirety of the playerbase.

A player at 20k can get to 35k-40k in about 6 hours, with someone helping (Liko guide, guildmate, etc) and staying dedicated to practice at a training dummy with not-terrible gear.

DPS only gets really challenging to increase after about 45k (3m dummy). Prior to that it's a lack of want to improve, feeling overwhelmed by parsing and learning, it not feeling fun. Which is understandable. The hardest part is getting over the "this is scary" hump and just doing it.

What if we literally only play tank?

Well it's about your thoughts on how others are doing, not asking your own numbers. So everyone can chime in.

Multiple your DPS X3, imo.
