The *how* part would be easy. I'm just trying to follow the *why* part. Keep in mind, my highest healer is only level 60 and has never raided so I'm looking to learn something here.

If I'm following you, you're saying that when you add up the time spent soloing, the time spent grouping, and the time spent raiding, combine all the trash in the raid and group zones with the names, that there are more times where it makes sense to cure yourself with a potion than with your own cure spell? Is it a timing thing that you can cure yourself with a cure potion then immediately cure the tank with your cure spell since it's still available? I wasn't aware that healers burned through cure potions that fast. Then again, like I said, I don't really play a healer. I would have thought that you would just use the hotbars for cure pots like you have to now with the default Fetish player window for the fights when you "need" to have your cure up faster than a second (it's a 1 second recast, right) and use your own cure spell the rest of the time so you don't use so many potions. Sounds like I may be mistaken in my assumptions. The small amount of healers I asked before releasing this wanted to make sure it would continue to cast their cure spells first, then potions if those were down.
