All on controller too.
To add to this, I was a terrible healer back during HW too (Was tank main in ARR). Back when I was struggling to figure out how to heal, I never actually had anyone tell me to put on Cleric Stance and do damage or they'll kick me, not even in extremes. However, when I started learning and got comfortable with juggling both healing and doing damage, I got many people telling me to turn off Cleric Stance and just heal.

I really don't see any addition of extra downtime buttons making the life of weaker players any harder at all, if they struggle to keep up with healing already, then they'll still just heal and not even bother with the new buttons anyway. The main argument I've seen is "But then the casuals/weaker players will hit enrage more often", to which I say "What content do they even do where missing damage from one singular healer results in an enrage?"
