Sorry to pile on here, but as Chii said, there is no way you will be running an MP deficit unless you are actively DPSing. If you use your skills correctly, healing will never bankrupt your MP under usual circumstances, and you will have plenty of it for regular DPS.

In this game, MP isn't a resource that needs to be hoarded. Yes, you use your cooldowns and your oGCD abilities to best effect, but once you are practicing basic MP management, you are never in the situation of sitting on your MP for fear that you'll run out. WHM can still actively DPS while healing; what they can't do is spam spells indefinitely like a BLM because Shroud, Assize, and natural MP regen alone cannot support it. SCH and AST currently have an advantage in extended DPS sessions because of their comparative ease of MP management.
