It is always hard to find a time that fits all, and the time you choose fits best with asian and US players. I guess that is where the most are from anyway.

For players I have always not cared, but I think monsters should cast the spells that do the most damage.
Meaning fighting a level 15 mage, that mage should magic missile.
The same if you have a shadow follower or something.

My advice is you group with damage.
In another thread you complain about grouping is not encuraged, but your low damage is the main reason you should group with someone.
I think for druid a voker is better to group with than a rogue, mainly because you don't have haste.
