DPS Required for DS Post-Nerfs

Hello!
So right now, my main is at 3/8 H. I've done quite a bit. My Hunter has downed 8/8 Normal, so... My point is, I'm used to DS.
My mom has recently been getting back to playing WoW a bit. Her Warlock can crank out 16k DPS on an ungimped fight, in a Dungeon (I used Accurion to check)... No Flask/Food, no raid buffs, but at the same time there's the LFD buff.
She has yet to be Enchanted, and I'm reluctant to push for that until she at least gets some more pieces (depending on the enchant; I know some she needs to get before, period-- such as Power Torrent).
But... -After- the nerfs to DS that have been done, what do you think she should be hitting for PuGs? She's not the kind to join a raiding Guild (she's had bad experiences in the past with rude players), but I think it would be a good idea for her to get into normal progression. I know for most of us it is a joke now, but she's not a top-notch player-- she can grasp mechanics and know how to play her class though, albeit her reactions could be faster.
I'm probably rambling too much. So, point is. Normal DS pugging, what's the minimum DPS she should be hitting now?
Thanks!

With enchants, gems and fleask/food etc she could proably handle normal modes, although it might be a slight carry.

Heroic DS doesn't even begin to get interesting until you hit Warmaster Blackhorn. And even then the only interesting part of it is the RNG. Spine is just a horrible fight, and madness is still boring, even on heroic.

I've had to call in a few pug members every now and then for our guild's raids. Depending on the content we are aiming for, I have different mileposts which I would like them to meet. The following list is assuming that I already have a 8 or 9 out of 10 guild group.
Baradin Hold - Nothing. Being 85. No item level or achievement required. Just that they tell me if they are not familiar with the fight as it takes two seconds to explain it.
Dragon Soul Normal - iLevel 378 preferable if fully gemmed and enchanted, since I started doing DS in Firelands gear, why shouldn't I allow others to do so? Achievement not required, but a plus. Logging on to my guild's teamspeak server is also a plus since I hate communicating during a fight by typing. If the player also have done LFR and know the key features of most fights (Like knowing how to click
Heroic Will
, they stand in good stead.
Dragon Soul Heroic - As we are on the same level as you (3/8), we do not do that many heroic fights yet. But I would not be reluctant to take a pug with me if they have some gear or skill to back it up, as those 3 fights are not that much more different. Just a bit more damage really.
