    It's called co-operative play xD
    Tank takes damage for you, you do your job as a healer and heal/cleanse. I mean it's right there in the name. "heal"er.

    edit - i state this as someone that's mained sch and whm both. I know what it's like trying to keep debuffs cleansed.

    Imo if you already know that a tank buster is coming and you're gonna IB it without having any other spare cds like vengeance, raw intuition, thrill, holmgang etc, it's a bad planning on your part to end up pacified when you're about to IB. If I'm gonna save my stacks (or infuriate) for an IB after berserk, then I'd probably rather pop it a few gcds early so that the pacification ends before the tank buster hits, or if it's not possible, I'd plan to use other cds instead of absolutely relying on IB for that.

    The pacification is 5 sec, IB is 6 sec. If you die because you can't use IB due to pacification then the tank buster hits within the 5 sec pacification, so you could've survived if you used IB before pacification (delay your berserk by 1 gcd so the IB will fit inside the berserk duration). I think the risk of relying on an external help for something with so little room for error is not really worth it compared to the dps loss from moving your berserk timing 1-2 gcds (since you plan to IB you must be saving 5 stacks or infuriate so you can't triple fell cleave anyway), but that's just my opinion.

    As a BRD, I don't care how your macro is, just create one. I need to NOT spend time constantly targeting you just to see if Berserk is up.

    Yeah, I can Focus Target you, but Focus Target only shows 5 icons; and sadly, sometimes Berserk won't show on the Focus Target list (crazy because once Pacification hits, it WILL show).

    That's because Pacification is a higher priority since its a debuff, the same thing happens to vuln stacks and such too.

    I see little need for a macro if the debuff shows up for everyone to see on the party list. Plus you still have access to your abilities. And 5 seconds of lockdown means you regenerate a good amount of TP or you can pop Equilibrium during that time. Though some might appreciate the warning.

    Macros cant be queued, so if you're in the middle of an animation and decide to use your Berserk macro, it may not work.

    I'd try adding more lines of berserk to your macro to see if it works. Also delay the message with a wait command (that way you're safe to mash your macro until it activates.

    Someting like

    /ac berserk
    /ac berserk
    /ac berserk
    /ac berserk
    /wait 3
    /p Here comes berserk! Pacify in 15 seconds! ( or however long it lasts, I forget)
