ATC is expecting you to fly the published radiails. Figuring a wind correction is almost useless, are you going to fly the heading you figured or the heading that keeps the needle centered. Granted it gives you a starting point when you turn outbound. But at 10 or 20 miles from the station the difference of a degrees is only a 600 or 1200 foot offset respectively. If you're watching the compass so much you don't have a one or two degree heading error you're not looking outside enough.
