forth. relise just because you have a mana bar does not mean you get refresh. the normal cycle/priority list goes Self > Palidin > Main Healers > other healers > Puller (if puller is using spells to pull). if your not in this list refresh is a plus but not a right. even then other then the first 3 you should not always expect to have refresh going.
Refresh Cycle SHOULD be:
Self > PLD > WHM > SMN > BLM > DRK
(Skipping the ones that aren't in the party)
And you're (Usually) not going to have more than 4 of the above-mentioned jobs in your party... so you SHOULD be casting Refresh on all of them.
It is possible.

fifth. remember unless there are more then one red mage in a PT (a rarity at higher lvls). a red mage has many things to do. several of which most likey are higher priority then your crack. even more so if you not near running out. in most cases the basic 3 debuffs (paralyze , slow , gravity) take priority over refresh unless the healer is really low on mana. and even then why is the puller pulling then?? Palidins are a much higher priority then anyone but the redmage themselves. White Mages(healers) are important and should be refreshed "IF" they are using thier mana properly. white mages that nuke or cast cure III when cure II is needed will finding themselves having a chat with the red or even the PT leader. same applies to all mana users.
Refresh > Debuff mob > Debuff mob > Refresh > etc.
REFRESH IS A HIGHER PRIORITY THAN ENFEEBLES!
Enfeebles are a lot quicker to cast than Refresh is.
cast Refresh first.
ONLY exception to this is DISPELL.

seventh. refresh is NOT a right its a priviledge. you went 40+ lvls without it you can survive without it. the only people that can be said to "NEED" refresh are the red mage , palidin and who evers main healer. anyone else does not need it.
no.
If you aren't casting Refresh on everyone that needs it, you aren't doing your job.
Refresh EVERYONE that needs it.
RDM > PLD > WHM > SMN > BLM > DRK
You should also be making sure that Refresh is NOT on someone no more than a couple of seconds.
as soon as it wears off you should be ready to cast it again.
and if people are constantly asking you to refresh.. maybe it's an indication that YOU'RE NOT DOING YOUR JOB RIGHT!
I took RDM to 73, and was only asked for Refresh twice.
and that was around 41-43.
