If you don't avoid void sentinel hits on M'uru, you're going to die - one and a half healers cannot keep up with every hit connecting. It doesn't matter if those hits are coming because of parry flurry or not; it's a simple question of healing throughput in a tightly tuned encounter. If you don't avoid one out of four hits during stomp, you are probably going to die (partially a moot point since Brutallus doesn't benefit from parries). If you don't avoid any hits during corrosion, you're going to be in serious trouble or pull too much healing off the raid. The burst in the Kalecgos encounter comes because you're stunned, it has nothing to do with your swings or lack of avoidance.

Right...but in all of those cases, expertise does nothing special anyway. Void Sentinels don't have a ton of parry. Felmyst won't kill you because of a parry-hasted attack either. Brutallus can't, and Kal won't. Clearly, expertise is a poor form of mitigation when parry-gibbing doesn't actually occur.
So yes, to be clear: expertise does not help when parry haste doesn't come into play or when the encounter requires something else.
This seems like a different question, honestly. Not 'what is the best way to avoid parry gib' but 'what actually kills tanks'. Expertise is better until you can stack very high levels of avoidance in avoiding parry gib. That doesn't mean it's better overall, but if your concern is about that facet, it's the best. If your concern is taking 4 hits in a row (regardless of the speed of those hits) that's a different question.
