I'd also say that Parry is useful for multiple mob tanking in dungeons/speed runs. There's far more opportunities for it to proc in the same amount of time which should help to reduce some of the damage being taken.

This is a logical fallacy, though. Parry is going to reduce the same average % of damage no matter the number of targets. Sure you'll see "Parried XX%" pop up more often but the parry only does anything to that single hit. There's no multi-target benefit like you might see with, say, Thundercloud procs. On average parry is going to do the exact same mitigation on a single target as it will on multiple targets, DPS held equal.

wrong. its simple statistic/math, compare both examples:
a) 1 mob hits you 10 times in a specific time period
b) n mobs hit you 10 times each in the same specific time period

you have more possibilities were a parry can happen, so the chance of parry an attack increases. 25% parry doesnt mean, you parry 2.5 of 10 attacks for sure but more likely 25 of 100
its the same fact, that you still can fail a 100 crafts at 99% successrate
