4.1c - Making the Most of Your Spells [ style="font-style: italic;">info courtesy of Jeah of Oggok, thanks

A few notes on over-healing first. Be careful not to get into the habit
of using an overly large heal for the occasion. It's pretty easy to
want to fire off both your major direct heals after you've finished
stacking regen spells if the MT's health is dropping. Give the
HoTs a chance to catch up! If your MT is at full health because
of a series of direct heals, your HoT isn't operating efficiently- only
chewing up the damage and possibly wasting a part of the tick.

Ready for Action

Solo: Maintain an HoT on yourself, turn on melee as the mob closes, and
crank out those HOs. Kick off the HO one of your DDs and continue to use the DDs and DoTs to "hammer" it home. One
word of advice on HOs, save your nastiest DD for last- on your two most
common HOs the last spell is used to determine the "bonus"
damage. If the battle goes bad (I use what I call a fifty-fifty
rule... if my health is in the orange with my power bar below 50%, and
the mob's health is above 50%, it's time for drastic action!), use a root spell and finally teleport. If any of these fails or hasn't cycled,
/yell and run!

Grouped: Maintain a damage shield and a regen (single-target HoT)
on the main tank as he/she pulls. For large mobs you'll want to
cast a group HoT before combat (thereby reducing hate) and use the
group damage shield if you have it. Your priorities should be
keeping the MT and other healer (if there is one) healed, in that
order. Use your direct heals judiciously, they draw a lot of
aggro but will halt a severe drop in HPs to allow you time to cycle up
your HoTs. If you do draw aggro, use Wisp / Sylph if your tank
can't shake it off of you- better some chance than none. If the
battle goes completely bad, try snaring the mob as the group runs
away. Or, if you're 39+, consider using Verdurous Journey to evac
your group away from danger.
