I certainly don’t think it’s a bad thing to hand out extra damage shields, especially if aggro will be messy and they get some bonus FR. People rarely run DS’ in ring wars which blows my mind.
It’s just a matter of what’s the next step/target and casting a bunch of group spells for a class with mana recovery issues might be regrettable. Every cothed PC is a boost to the raid. Also, the more you cast group DS spells, the greater the chance you will take faction hits that need to be corrected in Kael.
IMHO the way to have fun and max out a mage is to get the DA stuff and be open to helping your raid bypass targets with train-aways.
Also as a FYI you can just cast on other groups (TGB might need to be on) without the tab to self and back. That’s really only needed when trying to throw it on a low level player that you don’t want to group with first. I know if you do that to any less than full group you get the buff as well, maybe it works for full groups too, I just can’t recall.
