I was in the same situation, hadn't added friends yet, posted on the friend's page for gems and breeding, accepted requests in case they still wanted breeding. I ended up going with the tree. Honestly I had the same dilemma from 3 gems to give and 8 giving to 6 gems to give and later 11 giving. What I do is I have 6 gem friends I give to every day and i keep track of how many other people have given back. If one of my gem friends lags two or three gems behind what i've given them then I give to the people I'm in debt to, who sent me gems after I had upsated saying I was full up on them, instead of my flakier friend for one day so it evens out a bit. I also put that I do that as my GC status hoping the random people would see it. If you give in shifts then other people don't quite know what to do with it and it becomes off balance pretty quickly. Where as if you very rarely give to some one they'll pick up on in in a couple days and give to some one else instead. Idunno, people don't always confirm gem friends and just assume if they give you'll have gems to give back, and through neither game center nor dragon vale can you message them and tell them you're full up. Its hard to stay fair. But I found people figure out cold turkey within a couple days where as shifts can go on a while without them realizing. So in my opinion a core group, or occassional exceptions is the best way to go.
