I just think that for regular conent, parsers are unnecessary,and only when it is needed for everyone to do near optimal dps does parsing become useful in helping players to perfect their play.
It's easy to see when a tank is losing hate or has his HP just plummet. It's easy to tell when a healer just sits there and lets people die. It's not quite so easy to tell which of the two DPS are screwing up. Especially with melee classes like DRG or MNK, I need to know their rotation, and focus on picking their skill usage out of my battle log, and target them to see that they're targeting the right things, on top of taking care of all my other duties. Most of the time that's not exactly feasible. Enmity meters only go so far, especially when you consider usage of skills like Quelling Strikes.
