Your damage numbers aren't more important than respecting other players; in this case, 1-2 healers that have to waste valuable CDs on you because you're deliberately ignoring mechanics and think a pitiful shield on a non-tank class actually does more than shave a tiny sliver of damage off. You can teleport back to your Leylines, anyway, so why does it even matter?

If the thought of someone actually caring about other players in their party bothers you so much, then don't queue through Duty Finder. It's that simple.
Manaward shields for 30% of the black mage's max hp. No black mage is eating things with it that they expect to not kill them. Thats how its always worked and what the skill is for. You clearly havent played much blackmage.

Its not just about leylines, theres interrupted casts, which can lead to dropped enochian, fewer fire 4s in a window, and delayed xenoglossy's, etc. Your petty healer cooldown, or, god forbid a gcd not spent on glare at worst aint more important than respecting other players.
