Question - Remaining casting time on spell

I know I saw a post somewhere in the last few days that talked about calculating the remaining time to complete a spell cast but I can't find it for the life of me. I have a macro I use for healing and I basically want to have it check for targets health with 1 second left on cast time and interrupt if that target is over a certain health. Sometimes I spot heal and the other heal is redundant.

/if (${Target.PctHPs}>80 && ${CastTimeRemaining}<1s) /stopcast

Something along the lines above, but I can't figure out the syntax for the 2nd part relating to cast time remaining. Can't get anything to return a value as an /echo. For the macro in question the only thing it does is heal, so no buffs or nukes etc would be effected by the stopcast.

Also as a further question. How often are holy/downs cycled. I.E, could I use it as a down and turn it on/off that way rather than building it into the macro or would it not check at least once a second?
 
${Cast.Timing} will return the milliseconds remaining until the spell finishes casting.

But you will need to have MQ2Cast plugin loaded.. Other wise you can check the Casting Window. Been a while since I have had to do that..

Thank you I believe this is what I needed.
