I much prefer Dispel Magic.
Reason: You can pretty much aim it to hit opponents and not yourself when you wish.
It's still pretty useful for getting rid of negative things on your party (though more specialized spells like free action and remove fear are just as useful for that) and you can throw it far enough back that it'll only hit the enemies. If you use it enough you get to know the radius of the spell pretty well, then you just throw it such that it'll only hit when you want [img]smile.gif[/img]
