That's really besides my point though, that sometimes it's
more efficient to kill a given mob more slowly and tank it a
bit longer (letting DoTs do their work), due to the reduced
downtime to recoup mana. If your group is killing stuff in
<30 seconds and increasing the fight times doesn't help, then
it's very likely you're killing low blues. The solution then
is to move to high blues, not all the way to reds as you
suggest.
