Default L2 action on the PS3 is clutch IMO.
Hold down L2, scroll to each char to select actions, let go of L2,- repeat.

I got fairly smooth with it after some practice. Its a method, holding L2 all while scrolling Characters with R1 and choosing from the menu/ selecting targets/ Rotating view with thumbs.

Changing L2 so the toggle stays open only allows you to direct one character's actions because it unpauses whenever you select an action. I dunno if it's a bug, but I quickly got used to the default L2 trigger.

Oh yeah, I love to micromanage and I do have tactics set up so I have the luxory of hopping from mage to rogue letting the warriors go through the motions on the best targets during vanilla battles. I sometimes start battles pausing each action and then cleaning up "on auto" at the end.
I changed it to the toggle one. I am having that problem with using that damn radial menu with the toggle btw - because as soon as I select an action (eg spell or something) the menu disappears and I have to pick it again to go to the next character. I 'll change it back.
