You're a little late on this, parsers have been around since day 1 of FFXIV. DPS skills and rotations are getting to the point where they homogenized with set rotations.

Yoshi P and his dev team did a great job on FFXIV, I enjoy it, but don't be fooled that they didn't take a LOT of inspiration from WOW, it's pretty apparent already. Plus WoW doesn't cater to the 1% anymore, they stopped that at Wrath, WoW is pretty much the most casual MMO on the market in terms of content.
