That wants to smash in the faces of people who constantly think they need buffs when they are completely unnecessary?
Like... When I am in a full group and we have a Monk, Enchanter, Mage, Warrior, Paladin, and Shaman (me), I just feel like I should only be thinking about the Monks/tanks health and keeping regen up on them and my self. Oh, and haste of course for the melee. Not a fucking +24 str buff that has no noticeable effect on their dps unless you do hours and hours of comparing and analysis.
I never mind casting Regen/Haste, those are a necessity, just not all that other shit. I mean seriously. We aren't raiding bro, in fact, we are outside and 2 zones away from the nearest dungeon where the real tough guys are at.
Now this makes me sound like I just don't like to buff, but, that's not the case. Only whenever we DON'T need buffs and people pester the fuck out of me.

If you're speaking to the point of whether other people should be involved in the micro management of the group (of which includes buffs), then that depends on the people.
My advisement to you is, be thankful of when people do care enough to discuss it, as often too many are oblivious or not concerned until it's too late.
I'd rather be questioned about what I am doing, to which I can give a fair answer and if it is determined I am doing something wrong, then we can discuss it.
Given that it's a video game, I would like to think that ego can be put aside as the objective is to be good at the game, not be good at being cool on the internet.
If it bothers you that much, then tell the person you understand they are interested, though you are confident you have it under control.
For myself I have found that usually not receiving buffs and/or not receiving the ones you request, is not down to any miscommunication or that you do not 'require' them, rather it's simply that the buffer is unaware, uninterested, doesn't care, is ignoring you(?) and/or they are ignorant and don't understand or believe it's worth their mana.
If casters run out of mana and we have to discuss as a group WHY it's happening - to then find out it was over buffing to which we can all compromise and not request as many. This is better than people not receiving buffs and then a fight starts.
