You say it is hard to bandage in combat, but it is actually very easy.

Set up a key so you can swap target between yourself and the previous target. I use 'tab' for this. Make a hotkey with the command /stand in it. Make a hotkey for bind wound.

Now you just have to hit tab, bind wound key, stand key, tab again and attack.

 
By using the /stand command instead of the sit/stand button you can ensure you don't accidently sit down and don't risk taking a round of max damage hits.

Note, casting spells interrupts bind wounds, but procs do not.

As such, this technique is useful for any class that regularly melees at low health without casting spells (e.g. a monk, warrior, or even hybrid that has ran out of mana).

You can even use this to heal nearby group mates too. A good social macro would be

/target (tank)
/pause 110, /doability n
/stand
/assist (MA)

(n is the number of the abilities window where the bind wound key is set to). Precede any commands with a /pause as appropriate if you are suffering lag.
