I agree that when using the eyedropper, it's easy to set the WB. I do that from time to time. However, I frequently find that I prefer something a bit warmer than what the white card method yields. It my not be true to life, but I like a slightly warm look. Of course sunset and sunrise are warmer than what a white card method would yield, so I guess in some cases a warm look is true to life.

to get close on the exposure, brightness, and shadow first.

If I'm using a white/gray reference card and using the eye-dropper to set the WB then altering the exposure/brightness/shadow doesn't seem to make a scrap of
difference and neither it should unless clipping is involved.
