I think that a parser would be good for the community. Not having one is not good for the community. I don't lose sleep over it, however.

I think a group parser could help people, while leveling and learning their class, test and see how doing certain changes to their rotation would improve their DPS. This would result in people playing better upon reaching max level. They could then continue to use a parser during grouped content at max level to see how they are comparing to others, and work to improve if they are falling noticeably behind. I also promote providing a better UI to give the player the best possible information to play their job to the best of their ability. The threat meter is great for showing who is approaching taking over threat from the tank - why can a DPS meter not be used to assist an Astrologian.

I care about buffs in all content - including leveling dungeons, nevermind expert or Alex normal. Having something be required, and caring about it are not the same thing. It's not required that I say hello at the beginning of a dungeon, but I care when people do it. It's not required that a tank holds agro in an expert dungeon, but I care when they do it. It's not required for healers to DPS in a dungeon, but I care when they do it. - and so on.

"I disagree with in-game parser because the community would turn on each other and would be a toxic fest." - in reality, this is already the case. Some people will be jerks with or without it, and parsers don't turn people into jerks. That said, I respect your opinion.

Note: I do not play AST, it is my least favourite healer.
