And in this case, they generaly are because the manual placement often takes more time than the loss of GCD portion.

Even for reviving, the macros are often disruptive. Since by the time you chatted your revive target, the abilities are often already queued anyway, and you are often still later than the other healer. The most reliable way around this is still just communicating (before the fight) with the other healer who is going to do the revives first, and which order they will use in case of multiple deaths (top first or bottom first). This avoids most overlap in casting.

I usualy just use macros for crafting as they are a lot more timing reliable and can save a lot of clicking (things like a HQ quick synth, or for specific crafts that require a bit more abilities in between).
