Greetings :)

Actually i use the FTL macro setup with 5 toons. 1 Druid as main, 1 Healer, 3 Shamies
But sometimes i switch my Druid to another shamy, same for the 2nd druid. Atm i just switch the names in my FTL macro.

Is there a way to enter 2 additional toons in those macros so i just can use it for every combi ?

That post should help you, you will need 1 macro for each "ACCOUNT," and a macro to to work as the controller for all of them. Click the control macro will click all the account macros dependent upon the modifiers, and will select a character based upon being online. Since you can only have 1 character from an account logged on at a time it works wonderfully to pick, and should you create a new char somewhere all you have to do is add a block for them to the end of that accounts macro.

Pay careful attention to where it says Account1ToonWhatever vs Toon1 in the typical FTL macro.

You can also use the FTL addon from the JambaDev suite. Just push an update when you have all your chars logged on and it works. It has the added benefit of copying the macro to all of the accounts you have logged in.

Well you could also use the JambaDev-FTL-Helper, if you use JambaDev (the alpha/beta for the new Jamba 0.5).

Edit: overread Bettysues last sentence, so never mind, i recommend the same ;)

ISBoxer also has amazing support for switching which characters you play and handles FTL creation for you.

Why would you get rid of FTL when several solutions have been given to make it work. Is there seriously a reason to completely switch when one can make what they know work?

All methods of leading have their advantages and disadvantages, FTL is long lead time, with greatest overall flexibility, and seamless transition between chars.
Focus is simple and hardware boxing compatible, but gives up the hidden nuke target / CC fallback ability of the focus frame, and requires memorizing a key for a particular char to become lead.
Party--whatever is about useless if you ever plan on doing something with raiding or PvP in mind.

I would read the OP's question and try to answer it using the method they asked about, if it's impossible state that, not your opinion on others methods. At the very least when presenting another idea support it and give us some insight as to why you believe it is superior and should be used.
