Depends on your raid comp i'd say a bit. A shammy going up everytime can easily handle upstairs and come out with dang near full mana if he/ she keeps their water shield up as well, and also gives you a raid cooldown. (make sure they drop healing stream/glyphed nat resist upstairs if you go that route)
