Skipping a modifier key for every job action is a huge boon.
Feels great to spam keys when you are trying to double weave and avoid GCD clip.
But there is a little stretching involved.

WIP... But this is pretty much it. It doesn't change much from this.
I have hundreds of hours as DRG with this setup pre-7.0, and I'm just okay, I think.
Sometimes I stare at the bars too much.
Sometimes I fudge the keys, I try to design around this though.

`~ and 7 in the middle easily irks me the most out of all the compromises here. 
But 24 keys = 2 bars exactly. No wasted slots, no wasted screen space! The layout of the other 22 keys is a perfect mirror to the key positions on the keyboard, with a little shifting.

It has potential to utilize all 10 bars if you want to get really wild with it... 
and with only 1 double mod layer / special mod layer (like by external Fn binds to numpad and F-row keys). 
That would be the 24 keys [`-7, Tab-Y, Ins-H, Z-N] on Top, Shift, Ctrl, Alt, and Fn layers.
Realistically, all you need is Shift and a little Alt. There is lots of room in the keybinds for Waymarks, Signs, etc.
