Initially, you can't really compare Royal Road and the current system because it does not work the same at all. Sure it was stronger, quicker to set up and more controller friendly. But it's gone :').

From what I see in your Steps, you can just do that easily if you target people while casting / Drawing etc.
Sleeve Draw is your hardest moment (especially in the opener), but the first one is coupled to Lightspeed so you can get more room there. Then you can easily take 1-2 GCD per card for subsequent uses of Sleeve Draw. As long as you keep your GCD rolling, you're fine.

Also I can advise using a "Malefic <tt>" macro, so you keep casting your DPS spell even while targeting party members. It's quite efficient for controller


Because the ONLY good thing about the new card system is that Draw / Play difference. You can use Draw on CD, and it will start resetting while you can pocket the card for a little bit and Play it when you want to, without losing Draws on the course of a fight.
