I have a similar question, but in the reverse of the OP's. Sorry to steal your thunder, OP, but it's better than starting a new thread.

I just started healing recently, and so far party healing seems pretty straight forward with a controller... but Alliance healing seems impossible. I avoid PvP or 24 man raids as my healer because I feel gimpy by comparison to the PC players who can easily just click on whatever Alliance HP bar is low and cast a heal. Normally it's fine... until you're the last healer standing any everyone's begging you to rez/heal them. Opening the "virtual mouse" to heal is slow, clunky, locks your hotbar, and locks your camera (both of the last two being utterly stupid), so I don't find that's a good alternative.

So, my question is: Do any controller players know a better way of going about doing this? Or am I screwed in Alliances without a mouse and keyboard?
