Thanks for the responses and the help with the macro too. Just for the record I switched to drunken from harmonius a few weeks ago and now stances are being pushed within 3 tries almost always. Don't know if it was/is a style related issue or if they have indeed fixed something.
Cheers

Is this push stance skill working as intended? I have to switch to crane and then spam the thing 5,6, 7 or even as much as 10-11+ times before i see a result. This is while the rog / dsc / rng in the raid are all working on removing the stance as well. This much work to remove it seems overdone. I don't think the strip enchantment, which is kind of equivalent, is as time consuming as stripping the stance.

My Diamond skin doesn't seem to be removing curse counters - specifically Archon in APW (30 sec almost went the whole duration beofre I called for it to be removed) and Second Warden of Nusibe I noticed it on. 5 min Curse lasted the whole duration.

Anyone else finding the new melodramatic FD death tumble animation distracting? Half the time I'm just a corpse sliding around the floor and imo the whole sequence takes a bit too long in the cut and thrust of combat. I wish they hadn't removed the cooldown indicator on the button too. 

Learned RITW 3 off a Zull Efreeti Handler in Rahz Inkur last night as he was hitting me on a pull. He was in the Darkness quarter (NW corner) in a square building south of arena - split level with cages on the lower level. They are probably all over the place though.
