    I can explain those 2.

    First one is simply being lazy. In normal mode, heal is rarely a problem and giving it to the tank or not doesn't really change anything. If you don't have a macro ready, you'll just use it on yourself because to just avoid to have to swap target and risking to be late on your next GCD. I used to always put it on the tank, until I realised it rarely changed anything, and now, if things go smoothly, I just use it on myself.

    Second one is mostly resources management in dungeons. Basically, a double pull is worth one "1 min cycle" (bahamut or phoenix + 3 primals). If the the dps output is not high enough that you need more than one "1 min cycle" yet not low enough that you can place 3 "1 min cycles", you fill the difference with ruin/tri-disaster. Using Bahamut or Phoenix on a nearly dead group would be a waste of dps that could be used better.
