When in A you may go out whenever you feel it is necessary, and even if it becomes "not necessary" it is not a crisis. PU should be prepared to cover BR in any instance that you go out, just be sure you STAY out. GarthB gave an excellent summary of when to go out.
When in B or C, you would NEVER go out. Catches/no catches in the V are your responsibility with runners on. Back up into the mound area to see the catch and also runners touch and/or tag up. PU has touches of 3B.
If your PU partner is claiming he will take all fly balls in the outfield all the time, he is not using the "new" V mechanics (which are at least ten years old). Try to forget what he "taught" you in this regard.
