Guess I didn't get that impression. I know lots of WAR's will use their wrath stacks when they shouldn't. I pretty much just hold on to mine until I need an emergency heal from IB then just use infuriate to get them back. I haven't really experienced anything yet worth losing the 5 stacks over on a regular basis. Which based off what Yoshi said below it sounds like I am doing it right.

There's also the matter of Wrath and the use of Inner Beast. I believe that a lot of players are using Inner Beast to self-cure when taking a large amount of damage, but after becoming infuriated with five stacks of Wrath, players receive a 15% curing bonus, so instead of using Inner Beast right after taking heavy damage, I think it would be better to wait for heals from a white mage or scholar.
I personally think they will making some big adjustments to how wrath works and what we use it for based on this:
These are a few of the factors contributing to the problems we've seen with warrior. While we'd like you all to continue experimenting with uses for Wrath up until patch 2.1, we feel effective use of this skill is a bit difficult, so we'll be making adjustments in patch 2.1. There are several other aspects of the job that will be adjusted, but rest assured that warrior will become stronger come December
I can't think of an instance in any MMo where self healing on this type of scale worked out. The closest would be Dark Knight from WOW but there was pretty much constant self heals and a blood shield for overhealing. Nice when you knew something was coming and just pop a big hit for the shield and ride it out.......
