I learned to be lazy by playing a cleric. When I first started playing him I was all about nuking, rooting, stunning, str buffing and even meleeing some. But then my playstyle started getting people killed. All that time not spent sitting waiting to expend mana on heals will really bend you over if things unexpectedly hit the fan.
Don't get me wrong, I root often, because it's a low mana cost spell that has a huge impact, and I understand the value of knocking down somethings HP more quickly to save time/HP lost.. but I certainly feel that's better left to the other classes that specialize in those areas
As far as HP/AC buffs go I am guilty of letting people go without them, but for the most part I only feel obligated to buff the tank and any class ike necro/shaman that reduce their hp for the benefit of the group.
I also do not hp/ac buff myself, so I often forget the buffs when they wear off. The moment anyone tells me they'd like an ac/hp buff I am on it as soon as mana permits.
