    Thank you for all the replies so far!

    Ryuni - as a WHM that's almost looking at the party rather than targeting an enemy, where do I see the cast bar? It's something I've heard of but I'm not familiar with, sorry.

    It'll be above the mob's health bar, you have to have it targeted to see the progress. Don't worry about it, that's more important if you're trying to stun or something. Knowing that the mob is almost done casting isn't going to help you run faster. But you can have a /ac "cure" <tt> macro to let you idle on the mob when you aren't capping off the DDs but that's another slot on your hotbar and something for you to get used to.

    I appreciate the suggestion, thank you!

    I'm not quite sure since I haven't tested, but I think focused targets get a cast bar as well. So if you set the boss/enemy as focused target (I think CTRL+F is default), then you get an extra little bar somewhere on your screen (depends on how you modified your UI), this might display a cast bar when they use spells so you don't have to switch targets when healing.

    Fantastic! I'll give that a go next time I log in and if it doesn't work I guess Zetonegi's macro will give me a bit of help - thank you!
