depends on the mobs, if i try soloing a heroic mob, yes, i use them if its a trashmob, its a waste of time and power (and the more they hit the more often the imbued leggins/buckler can proc, hehehe) <div></div>

Just not worth the time to cast them.  When you pre-Ward yourself, you basically aren't going to take any damage for the first 10 to 15 seconds of the fight.  Once the pre-Ward drops, there is so little life remaining in the mob that the damage just doesn't matter. Those debuffs are a bit more important in groups when fighting named mobs - anything that makes the fight go longer than 60 seconds.  Under 60 seconds, it just doesn't matter.  Raids can really see significant benefit from debuffs.
