I save my Swiftcast at the beginning of the dungeon for Swift Holy -> Holy x2-x3.
That said, I'm perfectly happy for the PLD to start in with the buffs! Since they're the exact same in 3.x, if they want to Protect while I'm hard casting Stoneskin II, awesome. Likewise, if the PLD wants to SS after pulls, cool. That's more MP regen for me for more Holy. When I PLD, if the healer doesn't start buffing once the instance starts, sure, I'll throw up Protect, and if we're low enough level that they don't have SS yet, then I'll definitely start putting that up on people.
IMO, one of the key skills for being a healer is being able to adapt and respond to rapidly changing situations. Getting bent out of shape about who casts what buff is just silly.
