Hum de dum, let's get going.
Most of my XIV setup is based on 1-10, Ctrl 1-10, and Alt 1-10. As I got more skills that needed to be used often that weren't in easy reach (1-7 for me) I started...mixing and matching. I've ended up with this.
Most of my heals are native keystrokes.
Most of my damage on healers are Alt+ modifiers
Most CDs are Ctrl+ Modifiers.
1-12:
No modifier: Cure 2 | Cure | Benediction | Tetra | Medica | Esuna | Medica 2 |Regen | PoM | Mount | Raise w/ text | Sprint
Alt Modifier: Stone | Rescue | Aero | Fluid Aura | Holy | Break (lol) | Aero again | Stone again | Aero 3
Ctrl Modifier: Cleric Stance | Largesse | Swiftcast | Thin Air | Divine Benison | Luic | Repose | Protect | PI | Tetra again | Raise w/o text
Some of those may seem odd like Regen being an 8 or Rescue being in the DPS areas. A lot of them were fit in to new places when things like Stone I and II became separate and we no longer needed two buttons based on if we were synced or not. Aero being in two spots is another holdover from Aero 1 and Aero 2, things like that.
For those that look hard to hit like Regen (8) or Aero 3 (Alt...9 technically) I did other keybinds. Those are:
Mouse 4 - Regen
Mouse 1 - PI
Mouse 3 - Stone spam (my thumb got tired of holding down Alt so much)
Mouse 6 - sprint
Mouse 10 - Surecast
Mouse 12 - Raise w/ text macro
PoM - V
Cure 3 - X
Asylum - Alt X
Assize - Alt T
Aero 3 - Ctrl G (Tetra used to just be G, now it's both 4 and G and I still hit both of them sometimes to tetra)
For my other healers I try to keep things in similar location. Bane, Holy, Gravity - all "alt 5". Cure 2, Adlo, Asp Benefic, all "1"
My other hotbars, since you're curious - some are set up for CD/proc tracking around my party list. One is reserved for mid battle consumables mostly and has e4e and surecast on it. Another is used for stat potions or on other jobs where I need to fit SOMETHING else in. One more for pets, sound menu, misc things like that. The last two I use are for jobs, chocobo commands, teleports, a few healing potions, etc. In fact it's probably better if I just post my UI at this point.

The bottom right 4 bars and the CD bars near the party list are custom job-specific. The bottom middle, top left, and two on the right are all constant.
