While leveling as Sage is it realistic to group as DPS if you don't feel like healing since 2 of the 3 talent trees are DPS? I'm wondering because Sage is going to be my main but I may not always want to heal. It's seems the developers have made the hybrid classes very diverse and I love that. I'm just wondering if I go Sage if I'll be expected to always heal in groups.
I think your role is more dependent on which skill tree you go down. I'm probably gonna have my Sage be a TK specialist. I think because each AC can have up to two different roles spec'd people can't just make assumptions like "you're a sage you must heal".

To tell you the truth, I'm having a tough time deciding between Sage, Guardian and Commando. I would rather tank than heal in a group but I like the playstyle and the story of the Sage. sigh.. this is my altoholic self... lol
Which would be the most useful to the guild in groups between those three in your opinion?
Go commando!!! Oh wait, you mean for your class, not whether you should wear underwear or not.
Well, I think the old rule of thumb is try a couple and see which you enjoy most. If you like the Jedi Consular, but prefer to tank, try the Shadow (consular AC), as it has a tanking tree and shares the same story with the Sage.
I plan to try healing again just to see if its more fun in this game (for me). But I (like most players according to a study supposedly, prefer kicking ass).
Also, it sounds like dedicated roles aren't that big a deal till the higher levels, so you have time to figure it out.
