Many of you may be unsure how to go about doing this to see if you're up snuff. Most times dps will cite where they placed in lfr on recount, which is a relative assessment and doesn't convey much information. Below are some ideas on how to go about doing this. I'll try to add to this thread over time as I research more methods. DPS: - Use the addon Skada to track your dps. I specify Skada as this will give you different results then Recount and most other systems work off their scale.
- World of Logs - a website we are subscribed to where we upload raid data to evaluate our performance over time. Talk to Warlin if you want to sign up to access these logs.
- SimC - The program used by the theorycrafting community to determine stat weights and help identify rotations. You can load information from MrRobot into this to determine someone's ideal dps given set conditions you can select from.
Healers: Unknown how to evaluate at this time. Best guess is to find a similarly geared healer and compare numbers in Skada Tanks: - While Tank DPS can be simmed, it isn't the most helpful information. Since a chunk of tanking is tied to proper rotation execution, this can be used to gleam limited insights.
- World of Logs - can be used to identify squishiness of a tank. This Article discusses how to do so.

Adding on to what Ten said..
Using SimC by default gives you a rough estimate based on a Patchwerk style fight, standing still and turret casting. So take it with a grain of salt at first. I've simmed myself and thought shit I've done half that on some fights and double on others. I'm sure there are options to tell it to sim based on a certain encounter. I haven't gone through all of the intricacies just yet. It also takes into account near perfect use of CDs and perfect timing of trinket and enchant procs. Having said all that, you should still be able to shoot for within 10 or even 5% of what it sims given you know your class. Some fights you may not be able to. You'll do way more dps on a fight like Malkorok than you would on say immerseus or even maybe nazgrim.
For healers, it is hard to guage performance. If no one is dead short of their own mistakes, you are probably doing fine so long as someone isn't doing double your HPS. HPS is a strange way to measure because it is completely dependent on the amount of damage going out to the raid. I've done 120k HPS on Norushen then do barely 60k with the same "rotation" on Sha. I've found that you can tell healers work well together when they all do within 3 or 4% of the same healing done. And that's almost irrelevant of ilvl to an extent (read 528+). They are just reacting to the same damage done to the raid. After all, there is only so much to be healed and overhealing doesn't mean a thing. Don't run out of mana early and do your even share of the healing.
I only know tanks from the point of view of healing them. When I tank heal, I like to see an even, almost controlled, amount of damage taken. Depending on the class, I worry less when the tank gets low. Take a paladin or a death knight. Both have crazy amount of self heals so if they get low, a good tank will do his share of the healing. But take a warrior who does more mitigation and less self healing? I tend to get more nervous. Tanking comes down to effective use of CDs and abilities. If you read the article above it talks about this pretty well. The more you hit a certain button, the better you will survive. And we can evaluate that with logs.

In SimC, Options -> Global Tab, you can change the style of fight to account for different levels of movement. You can also adjust the number of iterations the simulator runs (more is better) and adjust the fight length (important since performance can vary based on fight duration due to cds). You can also adjust for buffs and debuffs present to more closely mimic the conditions you're under. While most raids will have all of these present, you can toggle these off to mimic raid dummy performance.
