I hang back, watch everyones health. Once the enemy has some noticeable damage.. I hit him once twice with shock. Then hang back again. If I'm FM I hit him twice with shock again. If we're in a relatively safe place, I'll actually sit and start medding. I try not to let my mana go below 60%. So I never burn on a creature that we're obviously going to kill anyway. Unless: Someone is about to die, the creature can only be hit by magical weapons or spells, or the creature resists my root spell and is running away.

Hope that helps.
