If your interest is improving your output you can use a training dummy to train yourself for specific fights. The fights are scripted events. Watch a video of the fight and adjust yourself for the mechanics as they come up. It's really not that hard to do. And you can do it with your static to account for the buffs and not worry about rage quits, drama, or exhaustion from multiple wipes.

The only reason you'd use a parser in the actual fight is to point the finger at someone when it goes wrong.
