    I'm not sure what groups you've been with but. My runs are pretty quick. If I had time to get a full cast off before the mob is dropped, I would. But majority of the time that's not the case. Cast time is roughly 2 seconds. It takes about half that for most groups to down a single mob. But to answer your question I scout rooms. Throw up a group heal and HoT then toss on sprint and scout the next room for a chest/dead end. If it's a dead end, and no chest. I let the group know and we avoid wasting time on it. Honestly this should be standard but it's not.

    I agree that the healer should be the one to scout rooms, but on lower floors healers are able to also solo mobs just as well (in some cases even better) than the DDs so there's no reason to not participate in that whenever possible. And on upper floors healer DPS helps even more, especially when you get your AoE spells.
