I take it your Lighter and Fufu are C1 both.
For your first stun a pretty big mistake is sitting on Lighter just before you get the stun - this means your first CA with S11 wasn't buffed by The Brimstone, which is a massive damage loss.
The BA1234 > EX > CA sequence after is a good idea in general.
I was concerned about the timing of Lighter's Ultimate - I usually delay it a little bit to ensure there's enough time to land all EX hits, so I decided to do some testing in training.
During your first and second stuns, you switch him in too quickly, losing some EX hits there. That's a minor damage loss and a considerable Burn buildup (so Decibels and some more damage) loss.
Stick to the timing you have during your third stun rotation - swap Ultimate from Lighter after S11's EX has already landed seems to give just enough time to land all hits from EX.
If you're just slightly too early, you can stall for time on the CA switch screen to get a few more hits in.
I don't like your EX use afterwards.
I bit the bullet and ran some tests to better understand you weird people who runs Woodpecker on S11 when there's a massively more powerful set available and here are my findings:
EX > BA1234 > BA1234 > Ultimate
Even if you mash BA (which you should) only the first couple of damage ticks from the Ultimate get the benefit of the second Woodpecker stack.
BA1234 > BA1234 > EX > Ultimate
If your Ultimate cancel is not too late (you have enough time to get all EX hits in), you'll be trading one stack of The Brimstone for one stack of Woodpecker on the final swing.
Not only the latter is always stronger, you will also get the full bonus from The Brimstone + 2 Woodpecker stacks on the first swing.
So, while I don't like it personally, for Woodpecker it seems that EX cancel into Ultimate is the better rotation, despite me literally suggesting otherwise like yesterday.
Because your Lighter is C1 (I think), you have a lot of leeway for setting up a better stun rotation.
Make sure you always get two BA1234 sequences before the first CA. If you can do that out of stun - great. If you have to do it during the stun - you have the tools to make that happen.
If your M1 is up and the things can align, I'd gravitate heavily to the
BA1234 > BA1234 > CA > EX > CA > BA1234 > BA1234 > EX > Ultimate
sequence.
If your M1 is not up, check if you have enough time to do
BA1234 > BA1234 > CA > BA1234 > BA1234 > CA > BA1234 > BA1234 > EX > Ultimate
.
I think there should be no issue with this sequence if you do the first pair of BA1234 out of the stun, but during the stun I'm not sure you'd have enough time.
You don't need to explicitly do the BA1234 > BA1234 sequence at the start (unless you can afford it time-wise) if you were actively on-fielding S11, as Dodge Counter also stacks up The Brimstone.
But no matter what you do, you
always slot in BA1234 > BA1234 before the Ultimate. The only time where you don't is when you literally don't have enough time for a full stun rotation (and with C1 Lighter that should pretty much be never).
Stacking The Brimstone is very important.
Regarding the rest of it:
What ball is your Lighter running? I don't think you're optimizing the buff from his AA.
The only ball it's fine to just raw swap him in and spam BA is Qingyi's.
For Steam Oven, you want to have at least 80 energy (enough to do two of his uppercut EX) to maximize its Impact buff.
For Hellfire Gears, you want to do two EX presses before the punch sequence (raw EX > EX if you're conserving energy, two shuffle dodge EX during his punches if you're conserving time, the latter is usually the optimal way).
For his signature, you want to either QA or DA him in.
Ideally, you want to maximize his buff when you apply it the first time and then only ever refresh it with his punches if you can make sure you are not downgrading the buff.
It's a very big deal, because if had the full 3.75% per stack buff, and you land
one (1) punch that is 2.25% (you didn't exhaust his Morale and/or your W-Engine's buff to Impact% was down) - you just lost 30% worth of DMG increase. CA refreshes don't suffer from this.
Aside from that - do not on-field Lighter. He has a good burst, but sticking to him outside of that burst is a considerable damage loss.
You have enough resources to force stuns as it is, you don't need to lose damage to do that.
Try to get a feel for the Daze burst you can do between him and Fufu and stick to S11, until you can rapidly force a stun. That would also mean that your first CA will have full stacks from The Brimstone, so it's a win-win.
I can't say much about Fufu. I think yours alright. Don't swap to her just to BA, though. Your S11 is likely doing an order of magnitude more damage than Fufu with her BAs.
You overall feeling for S11 seems to be pretty good.
Your swaps seems to be purposeful, and you have the correct idea for the timing, but you seem to do things too quickly sometimes - try to pay more attention how long it takes for things like S11's BA4 or EX to land with the final hits and try to aim your swaps to not cut those hits short.
On-field S11 more. Otherwise, you're doing pretty good.
Good luck, bro.
