I have a question: I often notice that healers don't Raise DPS during fights. I'm assuming this is because it costs a whopping amount of MP, and KOs are more common during difficult fights where the tank still needs to be healed.

I play SMN and most of my DPS comes from DoT. As long as all my debuffs have a good amount of time before expiring I'll take that time to rez a fellow DPS (cause I know how much it sucks to catch that one random AoE). I never want to start a rez if I know the healer is going to be doing it though. A glance at the party list shows who is casting what and healers are always looking there. So when I start casting Res do healers notice and continue healing the party instead of casting Raise themselves? Were they never planning on Raising until the mob/boss is defeated?

I basically want to know how least to infringe upon the healer's job while also being helpful in sharing a burden that is easily taken care of by a SMN.
