If you run ISBoxer you can take this concept one step further and set this switching to happen automatically when you switch toons. Why would you want a toon other than your main leader/driver character? Off the top of my head I can think of two reasons. First and foremost are Dangerous encounters. You want to be able to switch to your Tank to better control and see the action. If two of your slaves dies and you have to run them to the main group you want them to be able to see the terrain well. Find "When I switch to this character" ... "Do this Mapped Key" which you will find in Character Sets Slots 1 through 5 . be default it should be Jamba Master.
From here (http://www.wowwiki.com/Console_variables) i found some great in game commands to tweak things in game. It got me thinking of making a macro for every situation. When we are doing Instances and Raiding we want to dont want to walk in the purple stuff so we turn up the spell particles. When we visit Org or Stormwind whatever your from we want to turn things way down. When we are pvping we want to turn things way down so that we can see our prey through all the casting and smoke and all.
so.....

Yes the only two commands you realy ought to worry about are the Farclip and the spell effects but I'd like to know how you would tweak these settings for different situations.
