I don't have much of a shift pattern, to be honest, on the bikes I have set up this way. I use the FD very much like the high/low gearing on my Jeep. Big ring (48-50T combined with a 14-28 or even bigger FW) for all normal riding, and the small ring for when the going gets tough.

Adjusting the derailleurs so there's no rubbing or - indeed - dropping the chain - just takes a little more time, IME.
