If you find out halfway through the fight that you're not putting out enough DPS, isn't it kind of already too late? Everyone should hopefully already be trying as hard as they can, you don't have time to stop and talk about strategies and how to improve their DPS mid-fight.
If you're doing a fight where someone can be complete trash and it doesn't matter you'll still clear, that's one angle, an angle I would imagine no one arguing against you cares about. The objective usefulness of a parser is limited in those kinds of trash fights - where it shines is in harder content where a hard enrage and/or DPS check exist. I wanna know if we're wiping and the DRG is doing 200 less than other DRGs so I can figure out if the situation sucks for him, or if he's doing something wrong on a personal level, so we can discuss this and fix it. Fix it and beat the fight with the info we gained from a parser.

Me personally, I know 99% of people in PUGs are trash compared to strong players, even the ones in PUGs who try. I don't really care unless it's just blantant disrespect for our time, like not using a stance for your class when you have access to it, or not following the basics of your class like keeping up Greased Lightning at all, and I don't need a parser to see that regardless of if I have one running or not.
