That is very true, although the group heal doesn't heal for as much as, say, it would if you put more points into healing, it allows for more heals since you've put more points into Energy storage. But, if I've just expended a lot of energy from casting Fire Storm and Fireball, I have to wait for more energy to save that ME/E's ass who decided he'd jump in the middle of 10 Charr's and start meleeing them (believe me, there are crazy people who do this). By the time the Energy has regenerated to the point I can cast a heal, I end up spending more with Energy rezzing him/her. "Well, why not use your rez/sig" you might ask? Because I used it the last fight when he got stampeded by a group of scorpions. hehe
So, primarily, when I'm with a group, I let them know I will be more useful with my rezzes than my heals, as I'm a Pyromancer first. They're usually ok with that at first until they start dying and they ask me why I didn't heal and let loose with a few expletives.
