It depends on the class, but for BLM it's always better to AoE once you get 3+ mobs.


Whether or not to AoE is up to your judgement. If you're with a weak tank, I would sleep and single target.

In lower dungeons (and even new tanks at 50) don't understand the plan for AoE. They need to flash+ overpower or w/e AoE hate move they can as fast and often as possible until everything is dead.


Realize that if your tank isn't up to the challenge it's always better to go back down to single target then to cause a stressful situation. I have all classes 50 and that's my opinion.
