Parity with rinkeby testnet

[kgcorps]

I'm trying to run parity so that it would connect to rinkeby testnet, so far I've installed the client (version: version Parity/v1.6.8-beta-c396229-20170608/x86_64-linux-gnu/rustc1.17.0). Converted my rinkeby genesis block config using this as input: https://www.rinkeby.io/rinkeby.json and using this tool mentioned on the github wiki page: https://github.com/keorn/parity-spec. Which resulted in this config file: https://gist.github.com/kgcorps/3b67338bc5ea204372f993ed25389e88

When trying to start parity with the following command:
parity --chain=res.json --bootnodes=enode://a24ac7c5484ef4ed0c5eb2d36620ba4e4aa13b8c84684e1b4aab0cebea2ae45cb4d375b77eab56516d34bfbd3c1a833fc51296ff084b770b94fb9028c4d25ccf@52.169.42.101:30303 --identity=kgcorps --datadir=$HOME/.rinkebyParity
I have hunch I've made stupid mistake somewhere with the config conversion. The source config is good to go since I've used it with geth without any problems.

That tool is only for Ethash (PoW engine), rinkeby PoA algorithm is not supported by Parity.

So my only option in order test various scenarios such as internal transaction tracking, smart contract deployment/testing could be achieved only using dev mode of the parity client? Due to the fact that in the other testnets coming by test eth is fairly difficult.
