If you can live without casting clemency AND the healer doesn't need to heal you with on-gcd heals then fine. Go for it. If you're casting total eclipse while the healer casts a heal on you, your group lost damage.
If you have a whm, holy stuns. A good whm will have regen ticking on you while they're holying, plus they'll have a tetra and a bene waiting for when you do get low. There's no reason for you to leave dps on the table. Ast is a bit different for sure since gravity doesn't stun, but the same concept applies-good players won't leave dps on the table.
