Can I get some advice for playing White Mage?

I'd argue that in a Savage raid setting, the SMN should never be expected to raise over an actual healer, but other than that a lot of what KD said is spot-on. Shroud is bested used early, and often, and while you want to save Divine Seal in some situations it has a ridiculously short CD so you should be using it a lot more than I see most pug WHMs using it. Note that it doesn't affect moves like Asylum, Assize, and Tetragrammaton, so bear that in mind before using it.

I'd also point out that while Cure III has SOME situational use, in most cases a Medica will suffice. I only dump Cure III before a boss ultimate IF everyone is stacked AND I have the half-MP proc for it. (So basically, once a year.)

Regen is a better alternative to Cure II if a non-main tank stands in avoidable damage and there's no major incoming damage rolling in immediately. This relies on knowing the content, though, so if you're uncertain it's better to get them topped off right away (Tetra is your friend here!).

Benediction has a slight delay, so if there's even a doubt that someone will die without it, use it. Nothing more frustrating than blowing your Bene CD on yourself because the target died due to it's silly delay.

Presence of Mind seems to be better suited for DPS than actual healing, though I'd sometimes use it on Raise if both healers had Swiftcast down. Mostly you'll use it to churn out quick Stone IIIs and Holies, though ware your MP while doing this!

Your untraited WHM Virus is best used on adds or trash mobs with hard-hitting physical moves. Spamming it on bosses more often than not will frustrate your SCHs/SMNs who are trying to save theirs for heavy group/wide magic damage.

All I can really think of that hasn't been said already.
