New Housing NPC - Damage Dummy but different!

While the current damage dummy is useful, there are some features that i think could be helpful to players that the current one lacks. This could be done through a new purchasable damage dummy type
1. The dummy tracks how much total damage is done to it, not dps. This would be so useful for two things: a) testing the damage of spell combos, like seeing how much your mark-boosted, clone-boosted, knife-boosted backstab does, or how much your combo of storm + bomb + bomb does. b) mythbusting/mechanics testing damage testing. Since damage tags disappear so quickly, its almost impossible to easily and consistently see how much damage a single attack is doing. Having a dummy that clearly shows this could make testing a lot easier (like if you wanted to test whether neutral raw damage was being applied, that sort of thing. testing mechanics, not just builds).
2. Has a UI where you can enter a length of time (from 1s to 60s) or a damage number (10k to 10 mil or something). If a length of time is entered, upon first hit, the timer would start counting and at the end of the duration specified, would spit out how much damage was done over that period of time (and avg dps, though that's just simple division). This could be a much easier way for some classes (like shade or other burst guys) to see how their damage stacks up, since the DPS info on the standard dummy isn't very useful for that imo. If a damage number was entered, the dummy would spit out the time it took the player to reach that damage number down to the ten-thousands. Idk if this is that useful of a feature but it kinda goes along with the more important one (when a length of time is entered) so i thought it should be included
3. make the dummy face one direction (for backstab, god i hate the spinning dummies) and make it bigger, maybe 2x2x3 (length x width x height) so that its easier for some classes to land all of their damaging hits (like boltslinger) because it's more accurate to the bosses that players face (raid bosses + anni)

Let me know what you think!
