I also immediately added psalm of warmth to my playlist. While soloing,
I found John K's formula to be correct, although my version was a bit
more simple: If mob hits you (on average) 3 times before you can bellow
twice, it's better to have Psalm playing than bellowing.

I was in CT yesterday, in a group of 5 players. We were the only people
in the zone (yay), and when I pulled, I would often get 5-6 lizzies
joining in. Singing Psalm, the "a Lizard Defender was burned" spam was
incredible. As you may know lizzies attack FAST. so they were hitting
often, and for medium to small damage. VERY rough estimate that in one
battle, with 6 lizzies hitting on 4 targets (burner rarely got hit, he
was good), psalm (doing 6 dam per hit) may have burned the lizzies 20
times each. that comes to 120 damage*6 or 720hp of damage throughout the
combat. Not bad, try doing that with bellow :). (again VERY rough
estimate).

BTW, Psalm DOES increase in efficiency with number of party members, as
long as number of mobs increases also.]
