They're your responsibility as long as they're not getting one shot (and I mean one shot, if they have ANY HP after getting hit they're still your responsibility). While you can nuke, never forget that you're a healer first and foremost.
    When I mention pickup members can't stay alive, i solely mean for Ifrit. There is a point you have to give up on people if they literally cannot avoid a single eruption an entire fight or they otherwise run over to other people and get them killed after you nag at them constantly not to do so. I'm one of the few WHMs apparently who do keep the melees up in Ifrit by tossing Regens/Curagas out, there is more than enough time to do. Ifrit requires everyone to do their part by helping you out by covering their own ass by avoiding Eruptions/Plumes. I'm sure you know when people are just atrocious at avoiding them it's just too far beyond anything you can do.
