Good question. Personally I'd rather have our run in, provided we don't get any more injuries.
It can work both ways.
If they wanted, Bayern could put out reserve teams for their last two fixtures and it would make no difference to Bundesliga table. Obviously, this would mean they are going to be fresher for CL final.
But going those two weeks without a fixture could mean they are less match sharp.
We won't have to worry about resting Terry, Ivanovic and Ramires and Meireles so might as well get use out of them during the run in.
Some might think we should focus solely on ECL as we have a decent chance even with players out to go the whole way.
Taking risks in the remaining league games may mean risking gaining zilch. The FAC takes care of itself, we go all out. But dividing the focus may also give out a signal about lack of confidence.
I'd like us to give it our all on all fronts, but in this very interesting situation, where an experienced general will have to make some wise decisions, Roberto may decide that our best chance is to win the ECL with minimum risk in the build up.
arent Bayern playing in their domestic cup final on the 12th?

You could well be right, but it's not listed on their fixture list.
sounds bad but draws in our next two league games might just help us win the CL, thus still qualifying.

Well then there goes the "match sharpness" argument, increases the injury risk factor for our opponents.

12th May!
Between now and May 19th we cant just be playing half-heartedly in the PL losing/drawing matches which are easily winable because we want to rely on one Final in the CL which we are not guaranteed to win in a months time especially with key players missing that is just crazy
