I also follow a very similar pattern for my DPS jobs and I use other design tricks like always making Down on the R2 cross bar be the job's aoe attack or, in my case since I main WAR, map Inner Release, Fell cleave and Decimate to Triangle, Square and X respectively on the L2 cross bar. That way I can still move while activating Inner Release and immediately start spamming Fell Cleave or Decimate. I also have it set to "Hold" so I just tap L2 or R2 then scroll between sets via R1. It works for me and has effectively made me faster and able to handle 3 sets of cross bars. Coupled with the design choices I made via the example above I never have to think about combos since muscle memory will always start at X for any combo.
Well, for WAR, DRK, NIN, SAM, and BLM, I feel like I can get by with the L2 > R2, R2 > L2 swap mechanic but I'm leveling a DRG now and I feel like I need to hit a lot more skills while moving (especially with all the jumps). Thanks for the tips though! Very helpful!
