Is pre-buffing neccessary?

[Tranquil]

-Snip-

I read your whole post. In it, you state that SCHs who don't pre-buff beyond the first Protect/Stoneskin/Succor don't even get a glimpse of your commendation. In it, your wording makes it appear as if you were insuniating that it is somehow bad if a SCH is DPSing all the time, while keeping their tabs on the heals as necessary, which in most pugged content (4-mans especially) - yes - only means relying on the "pocket fairy" to heal and keeping the tank up. You insuniate that this is bad play. In these scenarios, the pre-buffing has been done at a required level, but it sounds as if something was missing, even when the tank is living and no problems arise.

In no part of your post did you mention anything about these kind of instances leading to a player's death (which you did in your latter post, now, whilst basically telling me I am suffering from dyslexia in the most gentle of manners). When a player sits in Cleric Stance whilst keeping tabs on their healing-game, everything is going perfectly. That is good gameplay. When someone sits in Cleric Stance and you have tank deaths, that is lazy and bad gameplay. So yes, I would agree with your assessment of those SCHs you mentioned in your latter post being terrible and playing badly. :') That being said, the implications behind your first post discussing this issue were not like that. I guess you could one-up your wording rather than calling people dyslexic, if this kind of thing tends to happen to you often.
