Sure I don't get put into G1 because I bring nothing to help the MT or the healers keep MT up, but I do get invited to the raid and they tell me to bring my friends..... I need nothing. I would take Kae's very modest suggestion, but I am perfectly happy right now.
Yeah, "buff up" usually means "freshen your beverage and put on some good music" for me. The finger-wigglers can make with the pretty lights all they like. 
My pre-battle preparation tends to go: "Poisons up? Check. Offensive stance? Check. Self buffs? Check. Full clip? Check." Especially now that our only buff is never off, we have plenty of time to mix cocktails while casters and bards get their buff on.
RE: my "Herbal Medicine" idea - just to clarify, I don't think that we *need* that, just meant that if we gained any additional utility, that's the one thing I could see that would make sense and have a constructive use. I'm happy the way we are, since predators aren't intended to buff groups any more than healers are intended to do DPS.
