How I am HQing for 80/80 not 40/40:
For progress!:
I am using : comfort zone > inner quiet > ingenuity II > steady hand II 
                   rapid synth x1 or 2 (try to get close to the end as possible)
                  (if it breaks a few times start over with reclaim)
                   Note!: If rapid takes you too close to use twice, try Careful synth I or II
                   (you may mess this up a few times before you work out how close you
                   can nudge it to the finish) Get it so you can finish in 1 hit or you 
                   need to add 10 durability needed for your end moves!
For hq   You should be at the end almost with a ton of durability left. 
                 Manipulation /comfort zone again (if CZ is out do that first)
                 Steady hand II > hasty touch Do this til 20/80 left! 
                repeat again, and once more if you can but if CP is getting low
                move on
Big finish! You want about 90 CP left and 30/80 durability. 
                Should have at least 8 stacks
                  make sure steady hand II is up! > great strides > fish once for a 
                  good or better
                  If good > byregots brow > if normal > byregots blessing
                  finish with careful synth II
I have been getting almost 100% strike on this for hq. Unless byregots brow breaks (don't use it without steady hand II up) because RNGesus hates you.
Always hit free tricks of the trade. Never go below 20 durability. I am using clam chowder nq :D 
Craft rating : Craftsmanship 592. Control 578 (with food) CP 350
Also note ^_^ I do not have the best gear or tools at the moment. Control is key with this rotation or you fail so many hastys. 
I hope this helps and I haven't missed anything. It sounds complex but its a repeatable rotation the hard part is edging your way to the end of the progress without finishing it. 
goodluck!! - Sky
