Nothing like being fifth of 5 on the healing list (1. main tank 2. melee dps, 3. warlock/hunter because they have no good escapes, 4. Priest 5. mage!). I understand, I just don't like it...just remember that it is the mage that gives their life to save the priest and the party!!I've never been one to skimp on keeping the ranged DPS alive. Having a holy spec priest running with a protection specced warrior really shows you just how important having DPS around is. Yeah, we can last for darned near ever, but without the DPS behind us it eventually overwhelmed us because we couldn't kill quickly. When Aleri and Gnolack started doing more with Sabramage and Littledude (two mages), there were many times when keeping the mages up was just as important as keeping up the tank. And with Mogo and Marn, it was keeping the pet alive (even farther down on the healing list than poor mages for most folks) that was a main concern even back when all three of us were offtanking rather than just letting Meowry tank it all now. ;)
Don't change your play with Necrali, just taking every chance to poke you. It's just hard to get use to; from being first with Smite as main tank to last with Yuri as mage and crowd control.

Sometimes, yes, you do have to sacrifice someone in order to not have a wipe, but more often than not you can still keep everyone up when Things Go Wrong.
