I haven't cast a spell for a good few years.
I perform rituals in order to worship. I also make talismans, tinctures, amulets and quite a few other pagan crafts but I don't often see that as spell work. It's more energy with intention. Not a set of pre-meditated movements, words and ingredients designed and worked into a format that is intended to specifically influence.
Say, my healing amulet is made of healing ingredients, their smells, feels and sometimes tastes and I give them the intention to heal. But if I cast a spell I would pick a moon phase, time of day, chant, cast a circle, gather equipment, write the spell etc etc.

Depends somewhat on technicalities. What exactly is spellcraft and where does spellcraft intersect with ritual devotion, meditation, and other related practices? Honestly, what I do is so part of my day-to-day life, I have a hard time making a distinction between daily living and doing magic, ritual, devotion, what have you. Each day is magic, in a sense.
The necessity bit is interesting though. I've heard some decent arguments both for and against only doing spellcraft when "necessary." On the one hand, doing it more than needed can be a sign of greed or excessive self-centeredness; bugging the powers that be to much, if you will. On the other hand, it could be a sort of "preventative medicine" thing and some folks think the worst time to do a spell is when you're mind is in a tizzy.
