In most scenarios, it will result in a faster run if the mage uses LB on trash. The LB is 2/3 potency roughly of melee, so if you hit 2 guys it will do 4/3 damage, 3 guys will do 6/3 (2x) damage than the melee would do for the run. Now I guess you need to take in to account animation lag taking away from damage, and aoe damage is higher as well. However, as a SMN, i will often tri-d, painflare, bane, swift-shadow, LB (assuming enkindle is on CD at that point, which it often is). This puts most of the LB during my GCD and while Painflare is still cooling down. I'll often use that on 5-10 mobs giving a 10/3 or 20/3 total damage increase over the melee LB.
