Why would one not use cards when they're drawn (save Spear)? I find that all of my cards do good things (at my level anyway, don't know about endgame).

Becase cards like spire/ewer are highly situlational, regain/refresh don't do good at the begining of a fight so better off burning them to try and get expanded arrow or balance. Bole should always be used on tank, Balance/arrow on dps.

With changes to balance and arrow spear should always be burned to double the duration of used on yourself before popping cool downs like LA + collective opposition.

Only time you'll burn bole are balance is if you've already spread something and it's in between mobs.

Broken record here, but I highly suggest not to use Bole for anything other than RR unless you have a specific use for it when you Draw it. Bole doesn't do a damned thing for run-of-the-mill encounters; it's only good for tank busters and arguably for a very large pull if you suspect that the tank has bitten off more than he/she can chew. Much like Sacred Soil, Bole is a very situational buff when you can potentially Shuffle it away or use it to set up an RR combo instead.

it never hurts to have it spread for a situation you might need it, or if a poor tank doesnt use cd's. plus less damage = more time in clerics
