Group makeup is the deciding factor. Do we have an enchanter and a dedicated healer? I'm on every requested buff, no matter how silly, and I'm slowing every mob and rooting as necessary.
Do we not have an enchanter? That adds responsibilities to me: root parking mobs and hasting melees very frequently. I also have to do this without clarity. Under these circumstances, my mana is typically what's holding the group up, and buffs other than haste on anyone but the tank and puller are going to have to wait.
Am I the dedicated healer? If we have an enchanter, this can work fine. Everyone gets everything they want. If I don't have c2 and mobs are unusually magic resistant (wastes lots of my mana), I'm back to limited buffs.
Clicky buffs are fine, but in the types of groups where i dont have mana to cast top-notch buffs, I don't have the time to buff people with clicky buffs. Retardedly long cast times x multiple melees x multiple buffs is a lot of missed canni'ing. Even with the clickies not setting gcd.
