How important is the cripple line of spells? Does it make a worth while difference in group content or is it more important with bosses please? Also do we have an optimum slow spell for group activity that is a good compromise between cast time mana use and chance to be resisted, or should I always be using the highest level one in my book? I like to point out im level 40 and play on a TLP so mana is not in abundance as the gear is very basic. Thank you for any tips

I would do one mob with and one without and see how your tank does. Use your Canni more often as well. Sometimes the higher level spells are not as good or useful as some of the lower level spells so you need to check periodically as you level. Also there are items that can proc or have the same clickie effects which can free up a spell slot for you on certain spell lines.
