Should I level Blue Mage?

If you really want to push BLU's AoEing capabilities to the limits, there's a pirate ship you can access via the Sahagin dailies that has a ton of NPCs split off into two groups on opposite sides of the ship.

I was able to grind from 44-50 in a little under a hour by burning those guys down mostly with the Ram's/Dragon's Voice combo (Make the most of the initial lengthy freeze and remember to Bristle before Dragon's Voice if you want to kill them before they become immune).

Sylplands is where I went using the same strategy, things died quick and with little risk even if I only quickcast 1000 needles. Kill 20-25 enemies per level, which wasn't as bad as so many make it sound.
