I wouldnt worry about being paper. You have alot of defensive capabilities that are usually ignored. Learn to root - learn it well as it will save your life. The various evacuation spells will save your life, just find out at the start of grind if the group wants saving or doesnt care about death. I have actually been booted for saving the lives of everyone in the group ona bad pull combined with extra adds. Some people would rather die than run back to the camp. Go figure.
Back to the paper issue, being paper usually only matters for AOE and bad tankin. The AOE is easilly avoidable as most of your nukes can be cast from way out of AOE range, as far as bad tankin goes you will figure out sson enough if your tank can hold aggro. So if you feel he cant protect you and you want to stay in group hit that mob with a stupor(clash)after a few nukes and that should lower aggro enough for rest of fight.
