I've been reading around the forums and have decided on a rogue(main)/druid software multibox combo using keyclone and maximiser
Ive done a search on the forums and have realised that most of the people talk about this in a pve situation(mob doesnt run...shadowstep keep hitting...etc).So i was wondering how am i going to do this in pvp?fear..trinket out of stuns..etc
I was thinking of maybe a macro to feral charge on druid and shadowstep on my rogue than stun him but in this case if he starts trinketing and running how am i going to counter this?(both facing dif directions,shadowstep/charge r on different timers)

You can't. At least you can't with auto follow against anyone with half a brain. That's why you don't see many melee multiboxers, and the ones you do see are almost always purely pve.

Can i assume it will be close to impossible to software multibox with this 2 classes regardless or spec than?(restro..etc)
Secondly,regarding Pve wise,would it better for a restro druid or a feral one to tag with a rogue?(assuming farming 60+ instances)

You can position him in pve and the npc AI will rarely move, but a player will be moving constantly. The only way to keep your clone in range of a moving player is to spam follow and stay ahead of him on your main, which isn't going to happen against a player with a brain.
In pvp it won't work well at all, in pve it works fine when you learn to position the mobs in between your main and follower.

I would never say impossible, or even "close," but basically, yes. There are people around either using or working on mouse broadcasting software, and if that ever gets to the point where it reliably sends the same mouse input to multiple windows, it could open up many new melee multiboxing possibilities.
Either would work. Feral is nice for LotP and can always pop out for some heals if needed.
I will just tell you that even manually 2 boxing melee classes gets real old, real fast. Or at least it did for me.

I plan to dualbox an enhancement shaman (melee, main) and a druid (caster/healer). So far I'm still testing if it's viable. How I think I'll be using it in PvP is keeping druid in stealth while shaman goes into melee. When he needs healing I'll unstealth the druid (he's parked somewhere behind a tree) and start casting heals, and at some point start dps'ing/rooting/cycloning when needed. Will it be easy? No. Cool? I should think so ;)
Trade the shaman for a rogue and you have a dual stealth team which will come in handy in PvP, especially AV.

Melee + Caster works just fine, or even great for PvE.
If by PvP, you mean "Battlegrounds", you can also be somewhat OK with melee+caster. Druid as a heal/buff bot for a rogue is interesting, probably would be some fun in BGs.
Arena... no way, unless you plan to just run a sub-1400 rating to get welfare epics (the few that can be had for no rating requirement, that is)

Resto druid + Rogue owns 2v2 long as both toons are 2 diff people :P
