Best Practice for Microsoft Clustered setup in Vsphere 5.5

[mburguk1]

This is the first time I have set this up and I have a question for best practice for configuration of Cluster Heart beat Network

The setup is for Microsoft Clustered Services on Windows 2012 for SQL, the access to the cluster for the production Nic has been set up on a Vds and the cluster heart beat is configured on Vswitch0 with a port group dedicated for this service

I would like to know if this the best way to set this up

Many Thanks
