Of course you don't need parser for creating rotations and stuff. Theorycrafting is just solid math and knowledge application.

I would say tho that for real combat situations parser combined with a video footage makes it hella easier to work on theorycraft... but theorycrafters are usually better players anyways so that's not really important.

We should focus more on our ice mages and petrified monks. Would players who sometimes don't even bother to read tooltips do math to calculate optimal rotations? I don't think so... nor they would read up guides about their class. In this regard parser doesn't work as much as tool for theorycrafting, but more like motivator to actually read up about their job. Nothing motivates you as much as seeing how much you suck... and also the fear of being "harassed".
