The jobs aren't that complex, it's more about remembering their intended rotations and using common guidelines that overlap with each other job. On tanks and healers, it's more situational thing you need awareness for and the ability to look ahead.

If you play the jobs as intended, then you should not need a parser at all. Because that's as good as you can get.
The rest is practice to (re-)learn them.
I would disagree. You might think you are playing the job as intended, but there could very well be ways to improve, thus negating your comment about as good as you can get. For example, on EX 1, there is a way to AoE all 4 adds. You might do this, whereas someone else will AoE, but only get 2 of them. Comparing yourself to others is a way keep improving. Now, if you want to talk about shaming people, etc., then that's a different conversation. But to say you don't need a parser to determine if you can improve I think is a pretty objectively false statement.
