While I've seen this myself, don't always assume that the other healer being on next to full MP is doing nothing. I've been accused of doing nothing before due to having almost full MP during a fight because I've been getting lucky with Freecure procs and am focusing on Cure I rather than II, whereas my other healer is spamming Cure II every time a tank takes some damage. It is possible to manage your MP quite easily.

With regards to the topic, I don't find I need Ether that often. Once you learn to manage your MP, there are very few situations where I find it necessary. Though after having to Raise a bunch of people, SoS and MB will only go so far.
