<span style='color:red'>What is a common percentage of load for DB exercises compared to that of a barbell? PLEASE VOICE YOUR opinions/answers fellow HST'ers! </span>
I can't give you an answer because I don't use dbs enough to compare to bb exercises and, if I do use dbs, I tend to do different movements to those that I use a bb for. My guess is around 90% of bb load for a similar lift.
