Yes, if its 11:1 you should chase. Surely no one thinks, "huh, he just bet 8% of the pot and that's only x % of our stacks so I should call" in situations like that. I think the human brain is going to convert it to some kind of ratio (not %) automatically.

outs-- ratio
1-- 46:1
2-- 23:1
3-- 15:1
4-- (gut shot) 11:1
5-- 8:1
6-- (over cards) 7:1
7-- 6:1
8-- (oesd) 5:1
9-- (flush draw) 4:1
10-- 3.7:1
11-- 3.3:1
12-- 3:1
13-- 2.6:1
14-- 2.4:1
15-- 2.1:1
If you were able to successully memorize your multiplication tables this should be no problem. Really, you could probably get buy with just to bold ones.
what AG said
thats about it

Yeah ratios ARE a lot faster, I think I'm gonna try using only ratios. The only reason I normally use % is it's easier to to get an idea of just how big of a favorite or underdog you are in a hand. I mean, if you know you're a 1.8:1 dog with two cards to come is great when you need to figure out the correct mathematical decision, but I have a clearer mental picture of where I'm at if I know I'm only about 35% to win

you should have actually put up a poll . Anyway i use percentages aswell since i know how to work out parcentages based on outs. While i dont know how to do it using odds. I have an A Level in maths aswell, so i can work out pot odds quickly using percentages
