WHM lvl 50 what's your hotbar set up?

I'm new to level 50 and between raiding and relic quest, I've found myself switching my hotbars around, getting used to the new actions and trying to figure out what works best for solo fight AND parties. Just wondered what works for other WHM!:o

Clockwise mine are

R2 Buttins: Medica II, Stone II, Cure I, Fluid Aura
R2 DPad: Medica I, Regen, Aero II, Esuna

L2 Buttons: Sprint, Cure II, Protect, Presence of Mind
L2 Dpad: Stoneskin, Divine Seal, Raise, Shroud of Saints

Then I have to switch to my secondary hotbar often to access Benediction, Holy, Repose and Cure III

I keep swapping Fluid Aura for Cure III though since I barely use it

I solo a whole lot. I keep all my offensive skills on R2, and all my heals on L2. I also have a horizontal hotbar above the crossbar for potions, ethers, and elixirs, as well as big CDs like disease, SoS, and Protect. It's a unique setup because I play with both the gamepad AND keyboard/mouse ........ which works very well for me personally.

So basically, I keep all the short cooldowns on the crossbar (what I use the most) and the long ones up top so they're not wasting space while on cooldown. It makes it so I don't have to swap hotbars ever.

Also, I find Fluid Aura one of the most useful skills for soloing. Stone 1 + Aero from far away (causing Heavy and DoT), spam Stone 2 until enemy is in range for Fluid Aura, then knockback and bind. Even the highest level enemies are dead by the time they reach you again. It's also a good escape plan sometimes >.<

This is my setup:

lowercase = key alone
uppercase = key + Shift

a: regen
A: aero II
s: cure I
S: cure II
d: Stoneskin
D: cure III
f: medica
F: Medica II
q:
Q: Sprint
w: Benediction
W: Mount
e: virus
E: Stone II
r: Esuna
R: Warning macro usually--something that announces a raid mechanic or notice (like Tumult incoming, ect)
c: time-reducing thing
C:
v: Holy
V:

I am not looking, so I can't remember what my other keys are. I will have to edit this later.

Middle row (normal keys): heals and mostly used buffs
Upper row (ctrl+key): abilities affecting heals and eye macro
Bottom row (alt+key): nukes and virus (focus target and target separately)

Works very well otherwise but I tend to click raises and Holys. I'm also still learning to use my MMO mouse...

Kudos to you if it works, but I honestly don't understand clicky-healers. How do you do it? It seems like it'd be very inefficient to me.

I'm much the same as Veri Ni

HotBar 1 - my heals and buffs. for dungeon only. different lay-out, but same items as Ver Ni :) But I don't have sprint.
HotBar 2 - my solo stuff. So mix of damage and heals and buffs, with my Cleric
HotBar 3 - duty roulette low. Just cos I love running lower level dungs, I have a set up for <30
HotBar 4 - a mess, with mounts and potions and crappy skills. I must sort that out :)

I can tab thru them quick enough when needed. Ocassionaly done a tab and derped..but in general pretty neat.

So, yeah, a specific one for high level dungeons/instance, my solo and a low level hotbar.

What I meant by that was me clicking those two abilities (Holy and Raise) is an issue in my current setup and one that I'd like to solve. For everything else I use keys or mouse buttons which doesn't require me to move my hands a lot. All my heals and buffs are mouseover macros.

I hope to learn to use my mouse buttons effectively so that I won't have to use keys for anything else but self-buffs too.

I usually keep a generic bar with sprinting and stuff /DPS/minor heal bar, and a dungeon healing bar. My dungeon healing bar has:

R2:
Cure I, Presence of mind, Virus, Divine seal.
Eye for an Eye, Stoneskin, Protect, Medica 2

L2
Medica 1, Raise, Cure 2, esuna
Regen, benediction, swiftcast, Shroud.

Bar 1: (standard)
1. Stone2
2. Aero
3. Fluid Aura
4. Holy
5. Swiftcast
Q. Cure
E. Cure 2
R. Esuna

Mouse Extra 1: Eye for an Eye
Mouse Extra 2: Virus

Bar 2 (+shift)
1. Stone
2. Aero 2
3. Ruin (used to be thunder)
4. Repose
5. Surecast
Q. Medica
E. Regen
R. Raise

Mouse Extra 1: Medica 2
Mouse Extra 2: Benediction

Bar 3 (+control)
Q. Cure 3
E. Stoneskin
R. Protect
Space. Cleric Stance

Bar 4 (+alt)
Q. Divine Seal
E. Shroud of Saints
R. Presence of Mind

Don't think I've missed any...

And yes, it's cluttered. My monitor is 4:3 1280x1024. I don't have much area to put my stuff

Edit:
I have Sprint on shared bar at Shift+Space.
I do have Mouse Middle Button. I use it to switch Target Filters, so I can tab through enemies between free enemies or currently engaged enemies. Just saying if you wonder why I have mouse extra but not use middle button

Bar 3 [Clickies] :
Stoneskin, Stoneskin Macro, Cleric Stance (need to move it onto another bar methinks), Protect, Shroud of Saints, Divine Seal // Aero, Virus, Stone II, Stone, Fluid Aura
Bar 2 [Clickies] : Presence of Mind, Swiftcast, Raise, Eye for an Eye // // Swiftcast Res macro, Ether(s), Repose, Aero II, Holy
Bar 1 [Buttons] : Cure, Cure II, Medica, Medica II, Cure III, Esuna, Regen, Benediction

... It's a lot neater on my HUD. It's all grouped up. The // are the empty slots.

I want to move stuff around a little, and get an MMO mouse. I have small hands so I have to rely on clicking stuff a lot. All my important spells on buttons which I can press immediately... everything else is clicked. Luckily most of it is muscle memory now so have no problem remembering where to click when I need to be quick!

Ideally, I want an MMO mouse for spells like Esuna and Bene, which shouldn't be so far down my button bar... my hands sort of fumble when trying to select them... being able to assign them to a button a mouse would be amazing. Same for Divine Seal and Shroud of Saints...

R2:
X: Cure
Square: Medica
Triangle: Med2
Circle: Cure 2
Up: Swiftcast
Right: regen
Down: esuna
Left: stone skin

L2:
X: bene
Square: Cure 3
Triangle: sprint
Circle: Rez
Up: sure cast
Right: divine seal
Down: Pom
Left: shroud

My other tab is protect and dps spells/virus potions.

Here's mine:

I don't click, I use a razer orbweaver and razer naga to ensure I can instantly select every action on the hotbars, and I can do the same with selecting partymembers.

Clockwise mine are

R2 Buttins: Medica I, Cure II, Regen, Cure I
R2 DPad: Aero II, Stone II, Virus, Fluid Aura

L2 Buttons: Raise, Esuna, Cleric Stance, Repose
L2 Dpad: PoM, Holy, Devine Seal, Shroud of Saints
I am looking for something else once I have all the abilities unlocked...currently I am at level 49.5
I need to fit Medica II, Benediction, Surecast, Swiftcast
I put all my Stone I, Aero I, Sprint, Limit Break and such on my secondary BAR.

Must be nice to have so many buttons under your thumb. I tried razer naga once but the ergonomics somehow doesn't sit with me

I have my primary heals set up on Bar 4 (which I don't show) as mouseover macros set to:

Middle Click: Cure
Shift + Middle: Cure II
Ctrl + Middle: Regen
Alt + Middle: Esuna

Then I have Medica on 1, Cure III on 2, and will likely put Medica II on 3. I generally click my cooldowns (which are on action bar 2, above my AoE heals) because if I set them to actual keys, I tend to accidentally hit them when I don't want to. xD

I do wish though that I could set something up similar to Clique from WoW so I could set spells to left/right click when mousing over a player frame, but this is a decent workaround given that FF has far fewer targeted heals than WoW.

Have all my instant spells stashed away, while all cd once at the bottom. Also just bought a g600 logitech mouse for extra keybinds, however, feel navigating to the keys is harder then i thought, probably shouldve just gone with the razer naga.

o_O I'm too used to stuff like ragnarok online, here's mine:

1: Cure II
2: Stoneskin
3: Aero
4: Holy
5: Cure I
6: Aero II
7: Eye for an Eye
8: Raise
9: Mount
0: Sprint
Ctrl+1: Stone II
Ctrl+2: Repose
Ctrl+3: Fluid Aura
Ctrl+4: Virus
Ctrl+5: Cleric Stance
Ctrl+6: Swiftcast
F1: Cure III
F2: Regen
F3: Divine Seal
F4: Presence of Mind
F5: Shroud of Saints
F6: Benediction
F7: Esuna
F8: Medica II

I main scholar, so basically I copied everything that looks similar xD Like adloq for cure 2, physick for cure 1, leeches for esuna, cure 3 for succor, regen for lustrate
