Depends highly on the kind of raid we run.

Mostly I got influanced by AEs being cast which need a cure or heals. If that happens I am too busy healing/curing everyone to do much DPS.
Secondly mobs resists are an issue for me usually. We raid in CoA and further on. On some encounter it's actually possible to put out some dot dps, on some it's nearly impossible to land anything.

Depending on the group I panther pets and/or melee, or I dot.

I'm a healer mostly. I almost never DoT mobs, to get good DPS I have to sacrifice too many spell slots to be worthwhile in this role. And with a few exceptions the resist rate pisses me off.

I prefer to see critical messages from nukes flash across my screen

I rarely ever cast any damage spells. Not that I am completely happy about it, but let's face it, we provide the most contributions to the raid by healing and curing, not using dots and/or nukes. I do not even mem damage spells for the most part, I am almost always in a DPS group with me, bard, cleric and whoever else. The only encounters that I frequently contribute damage that I can think of off hand are Hanvar and Vish. Most of the time, I have to heal/cure group, or patch MT/RT (on top of the usual DPS buffs). It's not that I do not want to cast damage spells, it really is the limit on the spell gems that gets me, there are plenty of times where if I had a dot memmed, I'd cast it at that point in time. And I just can't afford the time to mem and unmem spells all the time throughout an encounter, especially not to cast a dot or two, that in the big picture, is meaningless and just a drop in the bucket.

depends on encounter, but most of the time im healer for monk bard rogue rogue beserker group. lately ive started keeping wunshi fort sence memed and no dps spells with the exception of panther. anguish clears i rarely even mem panther. over all id say im in the same boat as original poster, take care of my melee group. every melee dps group should have a bard in it though, really adds alot when everyone clicks epics/group discs

there are always 2 shaman on in my guild sometimes we have 3 (2 more than 3). If there are two on, I generally do main healing for dps group, or heals and cures for tank groups (on vish and other encounters that require a lot of curing). I think the only raids I get to dps on are trvial encounters.

[Brohg]

There's curing on Vishimtar?

[Sebekiz]

On Vish I'm healing and using RC6 every 2.1 minutes to cure the DoT. On other fights, it depends. Usually I'm doing heals/cures (often I'm healing my group while the cleric/druid is in the CH rot on the MT). Sometimes I add DPS either via Panther (if I have several melee) or DoTs/DDs (I love laying 4 or 5 poison DoTs on Warden Hanvar, he has almost no PR).
