Apexis shards you will have tons of, use the middle control and do the BIG simon says and the full group gets emanation for 1 game of simon, then you kill a big ugly at the end or run away. Takes 35 apexis shards I think, but on ONE character I have literally thousands laying about... you get like 10 per daily, so you could easily rotate that back and forth to minimize impact with a 5 box.

Another thing to keep in mind is that Large Brilliant Shards (DE From any level 60 boss drops) sell for 150g per stack of 20 on my server, I'd wager they are good on any server with raiding players... they are used in the best mana oils still.
