advice needed. MP shortage

Sorry, I should have mentioned that I almost always keep regen on the tank (and other melee's when I have the free time). Stoneskin I don't usually have a chance to cast during battle. It seems like it comes off almost immediately when the tank gets hit by a boss-type mob. Not to mention the casting time is so long, a lot of times the tank will be near death (from full health) when I cast stoneskin.

My advice would be to utilize Shroud (MP regen effect if I recall) and to focus on mana efficinecy. Every time you over-heal, you are basically wasting mana away. Larger heals will take a lot more MP to achieve less of a result then say 2 heals of a lower level heal. Its all about balancing out your mana usage and limiting your large MP drains for emergencies and minimizing the over-healing you do.

Don't use regen on DPS unless you ABSOLUTELY have to. If they take a random AOE hit, heal them with a cure 1, if that doesn't top them off, they don't need to be topped off - they aren't the one tanking - they SHOULDN'T be taking much damage except random hits, others they should be dodging. Using this philosophy you have the chance to proc free cure more too for Cure 2's on your tank if needed.

Thank you for the suggestions. I am now lv 41 with my WHM and after getting that Saint's Shroud ability at lv 38 it has been a lot better. I personally only use regen on the dps when I don't have a chance to heal them because I am focusing on the tank. I also think my problems were resulting from my gear and/or the tank's gear being too weak. Once you have a geared group, healing is a breeze and I will always like it better than tanking.
