So what does your UI and hot bar layout look like?

Here's my AST UI:



I generally try to use the same layout in any MMO I play (when possible). The only thing really superfluous is the bars for the emotes and job swapping. All my healers use a variation of this layout and most of my heals aren't on the bars cause they are actually setup as mouseover macros on bar 10 which stays hidden and are accessed through keybinds. Even things like Essential Dignity are bound to mouseovers but I like having anything with a significant cooldown on the bar so I can see if its available at a glance.

I have both Minor Arcana on my bar and a macro that uses the icon for Lord of Crowns so I can tap it when available for dpsing. Minor Arcana is on the bar on its own for activation and to show me when I have Lady of Crowns available. Lady of Crowns is part of my Essential Dignity mouseover macro so that when ED is on cooldown, but Lady is available I can use the same button for another instant heal or double tap for back to back instant heals if needed. When I have Lady of Crowns, the Lord of Crowns button goes dark so I have a visual queue that the dps crown isn't available. I also have a placeholder macro for Sleeve Draw on my third bar until I hit 70.
