Re: Can somebody remind me what Lore-Master's spells took to cast?
If you're getting interrupted a lot, you might lose more morale and do less damage when trying to get the skill off instead of standing there autoattacking. Try rotating stuns, kite, burning embers to slow, cracked earth to root. Try sending your pet in to attack and standing there healing your pet. Experiment a bit, see what works for you in those situations. Remember, the worse that can happen is that you die. Shoot, you could die enough to break every piece of armor you own and it'd probably only cost you 80 silver or something at your level.
As a level 1 burglar, Bilbo got a pony when he joined the Smaug The Dragon raid. Then he asked for leadership, looted the chest, assigned himself the 1st age Arkenstone and mailed it to an alt (Bilbo's a VIP so can mail from anywhere). They did some PvMP and an Epic Battle, then he apologized and gave the Arkenstone back because it wasn't BoA. He kept the pony.
