Are you not using Aquaveil?

I'm often very bad about using protection on a mage job because RDM spoiled me and I hate recasting so often, but I've lost count of the times that I've learned my lesson in regards to not using aquaveil. Doesn't stop me from not using it but still, I know the value of it. It's probably the most important spell to use on a mage job I would think. Monsters love to strike at you when it's a life or death situation in the next several seconds.
