Sure, it's almost impossible to do it perfectly, you'd need to switch exactly every 7 frames, but you can do it in a manner that the skills are still useful and quite powerful. I honestly think it makes sense for it to be that difficult, since the build is by no means weak even without perfect timing.

If you are having health issues you are doing it wrong or for an unhealthy amount of time. I didn't had this kind of issue.
I'd suggest you to keep both skills in the RMB and switch with keybinds as someone said before.
Cascade is the default skill and when you get the bear buff heartseeker outshine it in medium packs and bosses. But heartseeker without heart of the Pack buff is just unreliable imo.
And I can't agree with people that keep saying bow dudu is awful and need another rework. It's a play style. If you don't like it roll a bowzon or something that only need one button to be spammed and clear an entire screen of mobs.
Bow dudu is fine. Maybe it needs some adjust in the heart of pack radius. It would be nice but not mandatory.
One mechanic a little bit more complex and the build is awful... I just can't understand this mindset. It sound almost the same when people complained about solar flare...

How can you say it's fine when it's a fact that the build has some glaring gameplay issues. It's literally impossible to get optimal damage on a bow druid if you're not a robot that can do frame perfect skillswitching (watch the video posted). I don't mind skill switching, I enjoy holy paladin for example, but bow druid is just frustrating gameplay since the skillswitching you suggest: Does. Not. Work. Again, watch the video. And the worst part is, the further you get toward endgame the worse it gets because of the increased attackspeed compared to early game. This character literally gets harder to play by getting stronger. This is the OPPOSITE of fine.
Besides this, the biggest DPS output is triggered outside of the player control by an AI unit that can and will regularly die when you go toward endgame. Wonderful.
Telling me or others that this is just something that "you like or you don't" and "you are doing it wrong" is like saying "I feel cold sometimes so global warming is fake news".
I've watched your vids.
