A basic stand canni sit macro does make things a little easier if your doing proper canni-dancing rather than canni-spamming.

/stand
/pause 14, /cast 1
/sit

Bingo, You can adjust the /pause 14 length +/- 1 or 2 based on your latency.
I recommend setting /stand to /pause 1, /stand As it can help with latency issues.

(Meditate server ticks + Canni)
Watch your current mana #, when you see it go up click the hotkey for that macro. Repeat until you're good on mana. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
I find this very effective if you're not in the heat of the moment and want to catch up on mana quickly.

(spam canni)
Have a clickie such as telescope, goblin earring, etc. Put it on a Hotkey.
Alt+1, Hotkey, wait 1-2 seconds, repeat
(Alt+1-8 are the default cast spell key(s), You can change it in the options if it helps)

So for me it was Thumb on Alt & middle finger on 1. I'd hold down Alt then hit 1, once I was done casting I'd take my thumb off Alt and hit my hotkey which I set to 1.

Could probably make a macro to cast it a couple times in a row.

/cast #
/pause (till gems would ungrey)
/cast #
and so forth

This is also valid for uber laziness. It sucks the macro only allows 5 lines,. 1 line short of 2 stand,cast,sit macros on 1 hotkey.
Not as effective as spamming canni or the Med+Canni

Does it get better as you get higher level? Worse?

No
It never gets better, in fact it gets worse the higher level you are. It's a part of playing shaman. If you hate canni you'll hate being a shaman. Or you'll suck at shaman.
A lot of shamans don't know how to Canni Dance. I don't know why they even bother playing the class.

There is a healthy medium a good shaman will maintain between their Health and Mana. If you are a shaman and are at full life you better have full mana.
Never canni below 40-50% unless it is a life or death emergency that you know you can save.
