20k dps should be more than enough, assuming we're talking sustained here(were you testing against a target dummy?).
15k health is a bit low, I'd advise 17-18k health for starters(with food). I roll with 16 but I know most mechanics by heart by now
I'd also recommend slotting Annulment on backbar at least just in case, it can really save your life in there(you don't need 100% uptime or anything but in certain situations it really is invalueable).
Good luck
thinking and knowing are 2 completely different things. beat up on a 3mil dummy in one go and see your dps, have a friend give you ele drain.
gear seems solid though i would get scathing mage for your magblade
15k health is completely fine but since you never done a vet dungeon put some health enchants cause youre probably gonna need it

I was testing against my 660CP mate, I need to test it out on a dummy for a bit longer to see how I fare.

Players are not opimal for dps testing because duels are very burst-y usually but at the same time affected by Battle Spirit which effectively halves your dps(also target's armor, cp, etc, which tend to be quite different from that of a standard boss), yeah.
Also far as health goes, there's an Undaunted passive that increases all your stats by 2%(at rank 2) per type of armor you wear, so if you wear say 5 light 1 heavy 1 medium you get 6% more max health, max stamina and max magickaI don't think you'd have it yet given you're just starting vet dungeons but it should help some more with health once you get it.
PLEASE DO NOT JUMP INTO VET DUNGEONS AT 160 CP UNLESS YOU'RE FULLY AWARE OF THE MECHANICS.
You will be kicked and cause A LOT of players to hate you if you're totally un aware of what's happening.

Certain dungeons, SPECIALLY DLC have mechanics that can be completely ignored in normal mode, yet decimate you and wipe your team in seconds on vet.
Make sure you have a good rotation you're confidant in keeping up in a consistent manor.
You're wearing light armor, so I hope you're using dampen.

Reading about the mechanics beforehand?
Normal dungeon mechanics can be ignored... that is the main reason why people are not good at vet dungeons when initially doing them... all the mechanics they ignored in normal pretty much become 1 shot in vet...

Reading about as well as experiencing the dungeon first hand pretty much go hand in hand... one can't expect someone to get proficient just by reading about it....have to do the dungeon, while making mistakes and failing before you get better...

Oh you'd be surprised. Before a lot of my first runs of dungeons way back when I first started vet dungeons, I looked up the mechanics of the fights online before progressing in and I felt, by any measure, completely prepared for the fights. If you read a simple guide online it will spell out everything that is going to happen so you know exactly what to do beforehand.
Reading about the mechanics and actually trying the content for the first time may go hand in hand, but learning the mechanics of the fights beforehand will put you at a massive advantage, there is no arguing that.
I would recommend any newbie to do this which I'm sure they will never do.

I can't see 99% of the people who try vCoS for the first time would be "completely prepared" for the mechanics of the last boss... just by reading about it... I sure wasn't... and I too researched before doing the vet dungeons...

well that's actually a prime example of how reading up on the mechanics beforehand can really give you the edge if you're just starting the fight for the first time.
Sure, you'll die anyway, but you will be much better off. At least I was
Mazzatun is another good example of where you need to read up

Exactly... experiencing failure is the best way to learn imho... and like I said research goes hand in hand... but you can't experience "failure" unless you are "allowed" to do vet dungeons... doesn't mean everyone will get better... but this is the only way to cull the masses and develop the kind of players that you or I would like to play with... it can get frustrating but I think the investment pays off in the end with a game like ESO...

Then put a group together for the purpose of going to learn. Go to the zone itself and advertise an LFG for players on level for the normal dungeon - I guarantee no mechanic will be missed. Run it until confident you know wtf you're doing.
People saying not to bother with normals and just start in vets disadvantage both the new player and the rest of the group that new player gets. The result is toxicity to new players and threads start popping up asking why can't dps who sign as dps just do their job and dps?
The best way any one can prepare themselves for vet is to learn it in normals. If the group finder is somehow throwing you with overpowered players constantly, then LFG'ing for learning runs or asking in zone is always an option.
Well I guess we're gonna have to agree to disagree... because I think the best way to learn vet mechanics is in vet dungeons...
Yes you should do normal first, note that some of the boss mechanisms who can be ignored in normal will kill you in vet.

^^^THIS^^^
Learning/Researching/Googling and then using the Grouping Tool to do the dungeon is one option.
Not doing any of this, making friends instead and DISCOVERING the dungeon with them is another option.
I'd strongly recommend option 2 anytime, but to each his own I guess...
