Though it really depends on the healer and party composition. I mark something with sole survivor when HP gets low, if we get to the point of 2-3 mobs left I'll pop blood weapon to regen some extra MP for the next pull, unless it's a boss then I probably have enough MP for it. I don't need to pull less mobs to have grit off though, I pull the same amount either way, as much as possible.

I do have a question though, this is something I'm not really sure about but it involves speed runs and I wonder what your thoughts are. I found that when grabbing mobs for quite a while it seems more beneficial to be grit on/ darkside off for my mana management , then when I stop I turn darkside on. Do you feel like it's better to be darkside off while gathering mobs or on? I just can't stand the MP drain while i'm still pulling things and not being able to regen it or do any real damage yet personally.
