Ministration Skill

Sorry if this has been posted before, but I did a search and couldn't find an answer. I noticed today after a hit level 63 that my Ministration skill is just god aweful. It was at 33. So I looked at our spells and saw that we have at least 3 spells that work off that skill - Tap Void line; Strength of Void line and Cure Arcane. I stood around a bit casting these spells and got my skill to 48 before I wanted to poke myself in the eye with a red hot poker. So, my question is this, should I take a few hours and raise this skill to max or is it fine where its at and let it raise when I use these spells out soloing/grouping. I am just not sure if this is a vital skill since all the spells we have that use it are friendly spells and resists will not happen. Thanks in advance for any information.

The effect of higher Ministration skill (for healers) is to reduce the mana cost of heals.  I'd guess a higher skill would also reduce the health cost of your health-to-power spells?Crank it up a few points and see if it changes the health cost (warlock/troub/WIS-AA-line-crusader skill buffs can change the skill by a large amount pretty quickly, to see if it is having an effect.)Or maybe someone else who knows for sure can chime in here...
