A rotation will always be self explanatory as long as you're willing to take the time to read your skills and traits and organize your abilities in accordance to their procs and effects. Sure it's not a simple 1, 2, 3. Yet it's not some complicated system to figure out.
A rotation will always be a ST combo or MT combo mixed with timing of buffs, debuffs, and cc with a final mix of situational judgement calls. Simply because not all fights are gonna be tank n spank.

Also mechanics are more based on knowing what abilities are coming and how to react to them. This isn't something that parsers resolve but something akin to WoW's Deadly Boss Mod is the go to mod for those situations and I know many people relied on it for T5. Yet bosses will always be trial and error the first time around until you realize how to react to said mechanic.

It's not that parsers need to be ban it's that they are not this tool that solves every problem because in reality it doesn't. If you as a player aren't willing to read and use every tool in your arsenal then already a parser is wasted on you. Yet if you use every tool at your disposal then the parser is just as much of a waste because it does nothing for you.

I know for some players it's some quality of life thing yet overall it's a tool that is mainly gonna be used to abuse it's purpose by singling out players based on a 1 time performance regardless of gear and skill.
