If dont you like being seen as a jerk then dont give unrequested advice, otherwise accept the fact that when you give unrequested advice you may be seen as jerk. Lastly dont get angry or butt hurt cause someone you gave advice too does not make use of it.
To 1: If you want to figure things out on your own, thats fine. If its something like boss mechanics etc. I'll even gladly do a blind run and keep my mouth shut. But if you want to figure out your rotation on your own, then do it on your own time aswell, not in a dungeon. There are training dummies out there, if you want to try out a (new) rotation. There are tooltips, that you should read before you enter a dungeon - not in the middle of it (only expection being ofc if you level up in a dungeon and just got the new skill). With how this game works, there is very little wiggle room on rotations and they're also pretty straight forward. There isnt much to figure out or try out to begin with. And you dont need to be in a dungeon to figure most things out - all you need to do is sit down, read your tooltips and then think for a moment in what situations that skill is useful.

Wanting to "figure out stuff on your own" isnt a proper argument against advice that concerns someones basic-rotation in content where they reasonably should be expected to have it figured out. And if you havent, then accept that people will point that out to you.

To 2: I'll repeat myself, by saying that advice should be given in a polite and friendly manner, but thats all. If someone calls anyone a jerk because of unrequested, yet polite and friendly advice or thinks of them that way, the problem here doesnt lie with the person giving the advice, but the person reciving it.
Dont get angry or butthurt, because someone in a team-based game noticed a weakness of yours and gave you advice on how to fix it.
