In laymen's terms DCT is just a very very fast automatic transmission.
In mechanical terms... though it can operate automatically, there is no torque converter, and it uses two clutches to alternate between gears, so it isn't a "traditional" automatic transmission.
You can control the shifts with the paddle shifters if you like to shift yourself (same as the "manual mode" in a regular higher-end auto tranny), or you can leave it up to the computer.
