Problem with Cleric Stance?

On topic, I too am having problems with it much more frequently then pre-Heavensward. Now I have to "make sure" I'm hitting Cleric Stance, otherwise I'm wondering why I'm not in Cleric Stance, or worse, out of it.

When I'm on Bismarck's back I'm loading up my hots and its breaking before I get my first combust 2 cast finished.

And no, I don't use cleric stance in groups. Yes, I've noticed its laggy.

I thought it was just me. I busted my tank yesterday because I wasted time dancing in and out twice and lustrate has been modified to become heal potency, so it can't help me out of the situation. It never happened to me before. It felt like I already out of the stance, but actually it wasn't.

Just throwing in my two cents - I've always had a minor issue/annoying with Cleric Stance in AAR. Now with HW being released, this issue seemed to have grown quite dramatically and I'm not sure if it's because I'm playing poorly or something was up with how the server is interfacing with my commands. I guess I'm glad I'm not the only one experiencing such an issue.

There have been times I'm having trouble keeping people up only to notice I'm still in Cleric Stance when I know I hit the button to turn it off. I've never had trouble before so hopefully they can fix it soon. I don't think it's a lag issue however because I'm not having issues with other skills, nor am I having issues getting out of AoEs, etc.

There are a lot of trinity MMO's where the healers were doing more than just healing and it's an old idea going back to the first MMORPG's. Games where healers do more than just heal are the better games in my opinion, since we're support characters, not just heal bots. I wish this game were designed for more of that and less of the spammy heal thing because it becomes more skillful, but it's still fun.
