Most can be answered by compiling the log data, but it requires additional time (the amount of which varying with desired answer). There are many cases where one instance appears to be optimal, but another has a greater effect; theorycrafters know this and strive seek answers, even if the differences are miniscule.
It can all be determine manually, takes longer, but is not against the rules.
To know the accuracy, keep running it, if you miss add more accuracy.
To determine if the TP cost is worth the damage output, time the damage you do in said boss over a given time. Then time using new skill. Whichever does more damage is the most viable one.
To me it seems like some people have been spoiled by parsers and now refuse to do the math on their own. Its doable and not against the rules (because you wont go around measuring other's dps)
