Embrace spam on a controller

My macro heals whoever I set as the focus target, so I just set whoever the main tank is as the FT and I'm good to go. If a swap happens then I can just set the new tank as the FT.

Clearly this method won't work if you are accustomed to setting the boss as your FT, but if you aren't using FT it's not a bad way to go.

I know it's slightly off topic, but why would folks bother putting boss as focus target? Tanks make so much more sense there. Maybe I'm just not up to content where this becomes an issue, but I found my healing got a lot less stressful when I started FT the tank and setting up all my heal macros to that. No more losing focus and healing yourself, still don't have to switch away from targeting enemy. I'm sure mouseover works great if you're set for it, but I think FT makes a good alternative. And in this situation, perfect solution.

Focus target allows you to see what the boss is casting.

Good luck dodging gaze attacks while you're healing or DPSing on other targets!
