Raise it now.
And sitting and medding then healing is horribly inefficient cleric play, and totally wrong. There is never a group ive ever been in except juggs/reets where i cant be more efficient stunning, root parking, calm and atone sticking etc. if a mob breaks and hits a chanter thats 400 mana you waste healing him. 30 mana calm and click atone stick means you just saved all that mana youd waste healing by being proactive and removing mez/tash/slow/heal aggro.
TLDR be better. Active offensive play in aggro management and damage reduction is so overpowered as a cleric compared to healing random unnecessary damage.

Just because you can do those things, doesn't mean you should.
Its based on situation, and if it doesnt call for it, don't use the spells.
I can't stand people who think that being busy is the same as being useful. Too many bards have screwed over enchanters by mezzing or charming when they shouldn't, dispelled or removed buffs when they shouldn't, off tanked or feared when they shouldn't. Too many people who have rooted mobs that were either the wrong one, or not properly positioned which caused problems.
Theres no reason to be calming and atoning unless you dont have an enchanter, or he specifically calls for it.
Agro management is the tank's job, not yours. Root/atone in emergencies, otherwise you're not being efficient with your mana regeneration and long-term mana/xp management. Good chanters manage their agro and their cc, its their job. Don't step on their toes unless they call for it.
Long of it is, medding and healing is fine if you can get away with it. When you need to use abilities, use them, but only appropriately.
Don't buy into the bs that if you're not currently "doing something", you're not doing it right. More like, if your group is allowing you or other members to sit in excess mana, then they're not pulling and killing efficiently.
