Actually, I would probably choose vessels too if I were to play again.  In some missions healing would help greatly.  That flame wave mission, healing would make that a piece of cake.

On that mission, did you go air or ground?  I went air on that one (mass banshee + the 6 hero vikings for anti-air).  My brother supposedly went tank pushing backed by heavy infantry (marauders + medics), which I generally tend to do quite a bit (tanks + marine marauder medic or tanks + goliaths), but not this mission.

Don't think any mission ever really took me an hour (maybe a couple of really long ones).  Usually takes me 20-40 minutes to finish each mission.

You need to be a bit more aggressive sometimes.  Don't spend an excessive amount of time and resources building defenses, because most of the time you don't need it (unless you're playing a defense mission, then go for it, stack your 5 bunkers, 8 turrets and 16 tanks).  Don't sit there at home building your 180 unit size ultimate-invincible-army-of-pure-devastation either, most of the time you can take out the enemy bases with significantly less forces.

And in some cases, offense is the best defense, knock off their base, and they're not sending any more attack waves against you (eg, in that hybrid mission where the hybrid attacks you like every 2 minutes, take out these annoying side bases as quickly as you can.  10 stalkers + some micro and the first base is gone).
