    Lol...sometimes it feels like everyone follows that rule. Tank, sometimes undergeared or not properly using cooldowns on a big pull, and I am sitting there healing my ass off staring at that mob that's had 5hp for almost a whole minute. Drives me crazy when people won't attempt to at least finish it off with an aoe or something. Even if its hp is low, that's damage I'm still healing. If swiftcast is up i'll usually just swift holy or something to end it. But seems way too often that targets are left alive that shouldn't be anymore.

    I see this sometimes too. Only magic dps I play is RDM, so when things get low I usually swap targets to cast jolt/impact/ect. on a new, high-hp target, then swap back while it's casting and throw my insta-cast on whatever it was that was low (if it's still alive.) I might lose a half second of dps here or there, but I'm sure it won't be the difference between a wipe and a clear.

    rarely happens to me. if I switch targets, I just refresh dots, bane then go back to ruin casts. even if people stop attacking it, my dots should finish it off.
