I quote the highest dps on a boss fight that doesn't have any dps-
boosting
mechanics, and that doesn't spawn adds. So, for me, I'd quote the dps I did on Archavon25, since I achieved my personal best there. For you, it might well be Cyanigosa.
Edit: And Cyanigosa dps may very well be more appropriate if you're trying to get into a 5man instance.
Of course, some people out there don't actually look at dps data for individual boss fights and instead look at the overalldps charts. Maybe they don't know that there's a "select a particular fight" option in recount, maybe they don't know that dps on trash doesn't actually matter, whatever. But keep in mind what your overall dps is for an entire instance, just in case. And if you don't know which figure to quote, quote both of them. The more info you provide to the raid leader (without going over-the-top), the better.

What I mean is, it's best if you quote your dps on a 5man boss if you're trying to get into a 5man. It's best if you quote your dps for a 25man if you're trying to get into a 25man. Furthermore, the OP has said that he's trying to get
geared
for raiding, so quoting dps on 5man bosses may be all he has to quote if he doesn't perform as well on the dummy.
Also: I know that measuring trash dps is stupid in raids. However! Firstly, some raid groups do it
anyway
. That was my point, and it can't hurt to be prepared. Secondly, in stuff like a timed CoS (such as what the OP has said), overall dps
would
, in fact, matter.
