In DX12 I lose a little over 40% of my fps by playing in Windowed Borderless. A parser, therefore, would only be useful between fights. Yet I have no trouble seeing rotations that catch my negative interest, gradually shifting my attention towards that player, finding the mistakes, offering advice and, as often as not, seeing kill speeds improve as a result. The other half threaten to ban me for saying "I notice you haven't been using your DoTs despite mobs being up for more ticks than are necessary to make your DoTs more efficient than your direct damage," — in other words, making the same baseless assumption as you are here.

tl;dr: I'm really tired of people threatening to get others banned for offering rotational advice or pointing out obvious shortfalls as an alternative to improving as players. Information is not the enemy. Negligence, perhaps.
The fact that you can even describe a parser tells me you've used one. Every data-mined thing about this game was acquired via such activity. So no, it's only obvious that someone is not playing to their potential when they are not even trying.

If someone is playing a healer, they have no down time or the party would be dead in 5 seconds. People who are accusing non-DPS'ing healers of being lazy, have no idea how the other person is playing the game, and telling them to use whatever some wiki says, does not teach them the mechanics of the game, it only tells them you think they are not smart enough to play the game at all.
