    To be honest, stance dancing really comes into its own at lvl 50 with whm, but at your level the basics should be to regen the important targets (maybe with divine seal) before cleric stancing to dps. At lvl 50, you can play chicken with the tanks health if so inclined, regen, clerics, holy (you can get approx 6 secs of stun time on mobs when holying correctly) then choice come down to 2 things really: keep dpsing then benediction on tank when health low or cleric off heal a bit and stance dance when comfortable until things are dead.

    At your level, stance dancing can be slightly less optimum since your ability to stance dance also requires everyone to be doing very specific things themselves. The tanks have to be actively mitigating damage whilst you are in clerics, and the dps really need to burn mobs. At your level, the dps dont have all thier tricks to burn mobs in the way they do at 50. Stance dancing becomes a race between your mana pool and the mobs health.

    As for stance dance macros, never used them, and would imagine they are more problematic than anything.

    Level your healer through dungeons and get more experience, then at lvl 50 have a look at stance dancing again when you have all the relevant tools .

    Edit: also, as a healer, dont feel like you have to be clericing in every fight. Dps should be able to handle most things themselves. Your example of stone vigil final boss is perhaps one of these places where you can cleric only if everyone else is avoiding all the avoidable damage . Your ability to cleric in any fight is tied to wether everyone else is doing thier job correctly as well

    Similar to mine in many ways, but with some notable differences. I see you use L+R for a lot of your core skills, which is cool. I opted to use mine for rarely used but super useful ones; LB, Food, Sprint, a spare CS (because it doesnt always turn on/off).

    whm controller setup, in use: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RnSj15P_g7U

    You can plainly see I DO have CS macroed, but its a simple macro.

    /chotbar change 6 [this is the hotbar with all my DD spells on it]
    /ac "cleric stance"
    /tenemy

    Changing back out of CS is not macroed. It needs to be somewhat mashable.

    not fond of your targeting
    but i guess thats a preference thing

    i have left stick as assist target, and up and down on the dpad to go through party list

    really the only time my setup gives me any issue is when i try to stoneskin someone while running, thinking of moving it but not sure where to
