I don't have my W2 yet and would like to estimate the cost of employer-sponsered health coverage for box 12 code DD. Can I do this from my final paystub?

No, you can't estimate it from your pay stub, because code DD includes amounts that the employer pays, that are not part of your pay and do not appear on your paycheck. But the code DD amount does not affect your tax return at all. It's just for your information. So if you are trying to estimate your tax, you can just omit the code DD entry.
