If we were to see something new in the advanced training hall, I'd prefer to see training dummies - passive variants to test weapon damage and active variants to test armor protection and shield strength.
Getting to run levels for free is not something I approve of. Learn by doing. You are supposed to have that risk of losing energy. If you don't feel comfortable enough, get better gear before you run the content.

Space?
Explain how it would take up too much time and space.
The way I see it, nobody would be forced to use it, so it wouldn't waste your time if you don't use it. And as for the space issue, my only response is that it's a video game, it wouldn't take too much effort to put another corner into the training hall with a solitary elevator.

your dedicating an entire clockwork instance on the server to a training simulation, it would take time to code the interface for the terminal, make updates to the map generator so it will recognize the parameters, modify the drop system, add a new set of tables to work with a rewardless map, and the usual QA processes to make sure it doesn't leak into a normal clockwork instance. The rest are relatively minor modifications.
Its development would run in parallel with anything else they got on the table (cost of time), and any bugs will have in fact have a HUGE impact on regular clockwork instances given the nature of the update.

Modifying the Suggestion
How about instead of adding the instance, have seperate areas with different mobs spawning? That way you can either test your weapons on them, OR test how your armor affects the damage you receive. There would still have to be the ability to modify the mods to Tier specifics I suppose.
Although I guess that doesn't really substitute going down and testing in actual varying combat though.
