    Caster LB is superior in most dungeons (to clarify, in case you are confused, it's better to do 20000 damage to a pack of mobs than 5000 damage to a boss in terms of speeding up the run). Melee is superior on single target encounters, such as trials and some raids.
    Appropriate LB is appropriate. If multiple enemies then caster, if single target then melee. Melee usually gets priority but it depends on the situation.

    My point is that in a dungeon, it's better to use the first LB as a caster on a trash pack than to save it for the boss fight in the middle. However, it's better to save it for the final boss for 2 bars melee, in most cases.

    I like to use Ranged LB (And to see it used) just before a pull if pulling the boss will reduce it to zero. That extra 1-2% damage aint much but it's more than a wasted LB Gauge is worth. Casters can do the same thing as well since they can target from a distance.
