As a magica Templar, I weave in light attacks to proc a poison now and then, and then go back to the abilities that do more damage per second than those c160 purple weapons with purple unresist damage glyphs. Those abilities cost.
Furthermore, it's usually a good idea to try to always be doing something in a combat. Grabbing an add off the healer - costs resources, doing some healing or buffing from my back bar - costs resources, throwing a debuff - costs resources.
What you call 'managing resources' sounds to me like intentionally slowing down your participation so your bars have a lot of blue/green.
