Not normally necessary, depends what you are doing. Can help with parts that have details that the fibres just cant get into, as these areas will trap bubbles. Improves the appearance of any bridged areas for the same reason.

For the most part, it complicates the process and you don't need to do it.

I would never skip the degassing. It takes not to much time and the result will be much different.

I'd agree with Hanaldo

I stopped bothering with degassing ages ago and have not noticed any cosmetic difference with parts, even on the smaller ones with some detail. Quite often they will be infused very quickly after mixing as well, so small air bubbles are still evident in the resin when starting the infusion. 

I've yet to notice any cosmetic difference

I am a degassing fan as well. On larger infusions I can run the resin so much faster without getting any pinholes, that it is worth it time wise. I also do a lot of closed mould work, for wich degassing is necessary in my opinion.
However, i have to admit that easier parts can be done without degassing. But as I do it for living, I love the extra insurance to always get perfect parts. One tiny pinhole and you have to clearcoat the whole part to get a perfect finish.
