Help! My bird rides the short bus...

[SamTheDog]

So I've got the pures down for tank and healer pretty well and maxed them out. (Still got some learnin' to do about executing a proper rush) But my bird is lagging behind. I'm burning through pots and I just can't seem to wrap my head around a good basic strategy. Any suggestions? I'm about to roll over to level 35 and have some better gear I'll be able to use then. I do okay running a dungeon, but I sometimes feel like I'm not holding up my end of the campaign.
