This exactly. It's probably already been said but personally, I use shroud when I get to around half MP and if i'm using more MP more quickly than I can regen it then i'll lay off the DPS and focus on healing since that's my priority. At the end of the day, most people will appreciate any contribution to DPS but no one should expect it, you're there to keep them alive! Of course the upside to DPS is that the mobs will go down a bit quicker which will cut down on the amount of healing you have to do. So... tl;dr - do what you feel comfortable with, it's a game and it's meant to be fun
