Soft target is your D-Pad up and down I believe, hard target is the person you are clicked on.

I see, learn something new every day ^^

With using embrace manually. Is there a recovery option for "oh no, that tank is taking a kicking, i should be using physick/adlo + embrace on him/her, but my fairy has blown embrace already!) ?

Before Adds:
Eye for Eye Tank > Rouse > Fey Illumination > Succor

Depending on the situation I normally save Rouse and/or Fey for when you know youll be taking high damage. With the semi-long cooldown on both I would save them for "oh shit" moments or preemptive healing that you know you're gonna need.

Sic is a terrible thing that should never be used ever ever ever. One of the best tools a SCH has is the ability to manually Embrace, don't take that away by leaving your fairy in Sic.

While technically correct, this only helps if you want to pre cast embrace before someone is below the 80% treshold.
Obey won't stop her from autocasting embraces which you cannot reliably interrupt to direct her to a different target and the bigger argument for obey imo is mostly controlling the buffs.

The only time I use Sic on my fairy is if I'm running a low level dungeon where the fairy can do most of the healing, and my healing would tend to draw more enmity than my dps'ing the place. =) I still keep an eye on Eos tho in these cases, she's not perfect at healing and sometimes stuff does happen and I will need to toss out a heal here and there.

Manual Embrace spam is an absolutely huge thing in stuff like FCoB. You can fairly reliably force the fairy into casting on the target that you want. For example, in T10 I deal with all preys, so for the double and staggered preys I Adlo the necessary targets, while getting Selene to Embrace the MT.

Even with multiple targets below 80%, it is still very easy to control who your fairy heals.

I find fairly reliable (esp. in case of MT healing) not reliable enough.
A split second passed and you mash your embrace button while she heals another target - thats my impression after all.

I'm not saying trying to gain more control over embrace is a bad thing, by any means do it if it doesn't interfere with your gameplay, but I couldn't find it worth the hassle.

Granted I only have 3 kills in this yet, but in the particular case of T10 my group lets the WHM heal solo during adds while I handle Prey, DPS and the fairy does her thing to top off party members and/or the tanks, and I feel absolutley no need to force her on one of the tanks; it's a computer after all, can't beat her reaction time on party members.

To use that T10 example, party members don't take damage at all except from specific, unavoidable mechanics if the raid goes properly, so forcing the fairy to heal your tank of choice in the meantime serves to A) help decrease the WHM's workload or B) extend your window of all-out DPS.

The B situation works well for me because I claim a tank for each add phase and keep it topped off while I DPS, allowing the WHM take care of the other tank and do whatever else he wants to do. If I don't direct the fairy and wait for the tank to drop below 80% before she even begins to cast, I might be forced to take more breaks from DPS or even blow stacks on Lustrate instead of Energy Drain if someone derps and fails to trigger tail strikes, causing my tank to take more damage than anticipated.

I see the point, its most likely just a matter of bad execution on my side and so it feels like a hassle to me.
Got to get better musclememory on SCH still to get this thing going more smooothly I guess.
