A question on Mystic soloing spell choices

A soloing question.

I have read with appreciation Banditman and other's spell choices and sequence when soloing. I am curious why you do not use the "Weeping Haze" and "Grieving Soul" spells?

Is the 25% DPS and attack slow/debuff just not an appreciable effort on a 40-60 second solo fight?

Thanks!

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)

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.
