If you want to build good habits, use your raid buff after your third gcd. There is wiggle room for it (Reapers and summoners use their raid buff earlier than the 3 gcd typically), but for every other job its pretty much standard. The only reason for this is that it takes on average 3 gcds for all jobs to really get the momentum going with their rotation so you even if you yourself aren't "amazing", your alignment makes the people in the party who are well practiced, better. I recommend the balance's website. They have a little info chart of how your rotation should go and multiple openers depending on your job, try them out and see which one works best for you!
