CNJs still have to get used to offense to do their solo quests, so they should have practice.
You still have a fairy casting while you're doing dps, so you at least know the tank won't drop without at some healing first. But WHMs have a smaller window of opportunity for DPS. Stance on for six seconds, and then ~2 seconds of Cure cast time after. Eight+ seconds of a tank taking damage.
Two spells during stance is a good start. Turn it on, Aero II + Aero, off, cure, on, Stone II x2, off, etc. It becomes a lot easier to plan for how you get used to your DPS. I know I can get away with letting Stoneskin fade away during Aeros, so one regen later, I can just leave Stance on and Stone blast the tank's target easily (on a normal pull). The dps is great, and it's only a couple cures after that mob drops to bring up the tank from like 50% HP.
