So, I am not a new lv50, been mooching a round a while. Done SRs in WP, and other end content (but I know I am no hardcore super bad-ass WHM). I know my skills pretty well, and I think I am using my buffs good too...but I'm not sure about one.

The question is:
Stoneskin - this is the one....in fights, when i have no current need to heal, I always SS before considering any DPS. I figure it gives me more time, and in the long run is more mana efficient that heals??!

Maybe I'm wrong with SS...but mostly, my team all have this on, in boss, and also if I'm tarting about with mobs and got the time.

Is it better in the long run? Or is there something more productive I could be doing.
I only ask as some healers I know dont really use it so much (only on tanks), and sometimes been in a party (with my other jobs) where its not used at all?

I guess we all play different - but interested in opinions!
