2-man: How do you manage your companions?

I've 5-boxed before, so I understand the mechanics of IsBoxer well enough, but I'm struggling with managing the companions. I'd like to stay with 2-man'ing, but the lack of direct control of the companions is frustrating. I'm hopeful that the companions will be incorporated into party frames at least, but the list is long of asks.

I've 2-man'd a juggy and sorc to 20, spending most of my time tweaking controls, but happy with the overall results.

Many thanks out to those of you who have posted SWTOR how-to's! Was up and hitting Black Talon within a day.

Currently, I have setup a key send for attack and passive but that's about it. Is that really all we can do?

I pretty much let them do their own thing, but I do toggle AoE attacks on/off if I'm CC'ing.

The one thing I did to get around them not showing up in the party frame was to drag the party frame down near the companion bar on my main character and then use a VideoFX viewer to show the other companion's health bar there too. That way all 4 health bars are quickly visible in one area. I put my healing click buttons next to each one and click away as needed :)

I ran 2 for about a month and managed my companions exactly like oldrod. What exactly do you want them to do that they aren't right now?
