that click is the clutch engaging. I think having been regassed in November you should be able to take it back and get it tested for a leak...If there is a leak then it wont cool as much even if there is gas in the system. I found this out when my compressor seals went. It was leaking and not cooling even though I still had some gas.

There is a good chance there is a blockage. Which will mean you still have pressure and the clutch will still work.
First confirm the clutch is working. With ignition on ask someone to switch AC and watch the front of the AC pump. Then run the AC (engine running of course) and see if any pipes have dramatice temp change.
