Steady maybe better for people that don't have a mouse/pad that they can configure. I am more effective specific a target, and I can tell it to heal one as I am healing another or have it double heal my target. With one pad key I mouse over heal and have fairy heal my target. Cool down doesn't change so embrace is going of the same speed.

As soon as I tell the fairy to heal something, it breaks the command(steady, obey and I believe place). Micro managing the embrace is much better then letting the AI choice it's targets, this is why you still see fairy's not on place. Since the cool down for embrace is the same either place or not, it doesn't work any faster for me. I am hitting the heal button as fast as embrace is up.

Now that the pet commands are off my GCD, I can add steady to the macro for my game pad. I need to test if it will cast embrace quick and then put the fairy back on steady as fast as it can cast it, without making blow its other cool downs for when I need it.
