Entire zone parses are not a good way to parse DPS, single mob parses are much better as each mob is a different situation and can lead to very different parses.Anyways im a bit confused with you, you want an entire zone parse, but without the trash?? so bascially you want the average DPS of all the named encounters. Would it not be easier ( and much more informative) to show the DPS on each named encounter individually?

A total raid parse could give a good indication of the total contribution of the class rather than a single encounter in which the mobs resistances etc, could skew the results. It would be difficult to tell though if any big differances between that and a named only parse is from slacking off on the trash or an issue with the classes sustained damage which makes any results somewhat suspect. However, given how radically our spell line up can vary from encounter to encounter, any single parse is of limited usefulness.
