^^ that depends heavily on gear.
During velious most shams will swap spear of fate + icewurm fang, which is a nifty little piercer. The 8 seconds casting JBB could be more useful doing something else, like cannibalize>torpor and building mana to drop a frost DD or poison DoT. This also depends on how much HP the mob has and just whether or not you're tanking and taking heavy damage.
The line of thought was: use fungi to 60 then swap for AC/HP and other stat gear. Cannibalize>torpor is incredible mana regen and the fungi +15 is negligible and barely helps (1 extra cannibalize?), whereas wearing a stat-BP would be better when melee'ing/soloing unless it's a non-summoning root/rot type of fight.
The JBB argument follows much the same logic. You may be better off regening mana/hp via torpor/can and casting heavier nukes/dots than spam-clicking that JEEBEEB. Of course if you're out of mana and it's an endurance fight where you're trying to stay tippy-top health and save mana for heals/debuffs then the jbb is fantastic (like dragons).
