Putting Embrace together with Physick/Adloquium/Leeches/Lustrate in my opinion restricts you too much. I mean, yes, a lot of the times it is nice to cast them both on the same target. But on occasion it is nice to be able to cast them both on different targets. With your fairy you can effectively count yourself as two healers, (granted the fairy is a bit less potent), but if you know how to balance your spells/abilities right, is much more efficient to let Embrace have it's own slot.

I keep Physick/Embrace right next to each other, but on separate buttons just for that reason.

I agree, and do the same thing. I use :
/macroicon "Embrace"
/pac "Embrace" <mo>

This allows me to Embrace a target I an mousing over quickly while casting a heal on a separate target. With a roused fairy this can effectively allow you to put out a good bit of split healing.

As mentioned, this is what I do if I need to split heals. As you mentioned, it's only on occasion you need to split your heals, and this works just fine for being able to do that.

I also don't have a separate macro just for Embrace, since you can either press the button on your pet bar, or just start your basic Physick and move slightly to interupt yourself while your pet continues to cast Embrace.

Also, about half the time Embrace is on cool-down anyway since the casting times don't line up, so splitting healing doesn't even require this half the time.

You can do this even if you macro Embrace to your heals, it doesn't restrict you at all. Just have a separate keybind for Embrace only, and quickly tap that before pressing your regular heal. Combine with mouseover macros for faster target switching. Because the fairy will have already started casting, the Embrace line in your Physick/Adloq/whatever macro won't run. This allows you to keep the benefit of having the fairy spam heals in-sync with you while also allowing you to easily split heals when necessary.

If for whatever reason I need to split heals frequently for a particular section of a fight where both tanks are taking damage, I just fall into a pattern of "mouse over first target, tap Embrace, mouse over second target, tap Physick, repeat".

This is exactly what I do. Gives you complete control. You can split heals whenver you want, or have the double heal whenever you want. It's a win win.
