This occurred to me even at lower levels. II never understood healers that
right after a combat would fire off all their mana full healing party
members then sitting down and medding. Sub-32 I always sang the heal song
in downtime and most healers seemed to always heal players one at a time to
full - instead of rotating around and letting all players get benefit of the
song.

Another point about Clerics and Heals...my clerics (it sounds so possesive
doesnt it?) have learned to wait on healing up the less banged up members of
the party until they have medded to full mana. The health regen is quite
impressive when I am singing the lvl 55 cantana with the 7 string lute in
hand during downtime, especially if another group regen spell is active on
the party. Why should a cleric burn mana on a party member that will regen
up over the same time it takes the cleric to regain his mana to a "Ready"
level?

This is just another way of reducing downtime that we have discovered, but
one which less experienced clerics and groups do not recognize.
