You say that.... But yesterday in a lvl 60 roulette I was with a tank with i250 armor who had pentamelded parry into it... So apparently someone thinks it's worthwhile...

I think it's them planning ahead. They previously said they would be reworking parry in 3.4 or 4.0. Obviously, this has been moved to 4.0. So now when it drops and we need to mess around with to figure out how it works, we have a decent amount available to us.
scrip gear has always been considered for "casual" gamers so giving them stats that are next to useless in current meta seems plausible. This patch in general has really taken a hit in terms of gameplay and difficulty so its almost not necessary. Though I won't be touching it myself as that much sks and parry hurts my feelings.
I remember back in 2.0 when I had to worry about Accuracy, haven't worried it about it for what feels like forever.
