Hi i like to start out by saying hi to everyone and it's good to be part of the dual boxing team. Now my question is i been dual boxing 3 toon's with the same class and job for the past month now. I got the hang of it all but now i wanna do something new like play 2 dps and 1 tank at the same time and i can't find any guides on here or any where online that would help me with this setup. Not sure if it's because i am not looking at the right place or not even sure what to look for so i need your help please. As fare as class i wanna do i was looking at maybe 2 mages and a druid tank or paladin tank.

There's not really any guides because there's pretty much no difference between multiclass and single class. You create the macros for each class and then you put them together with multisteps just like you would for all the same class.

There are three main strategies I am aware of, given here in order of increasing difficulty of setup:
1) Place abilities with similar effects/casting times/cooldowns on the same place on your action bars on different characters and just use some mechanism to send you key presses to all characters.
2) Use a "two step" macro (see the stickies in the Macros and Addons forum) to incorporate most of your abilities into a single spammable button. Use other buttons for abilities not included in your spam button.
3) (If you are using ISBoxer) Use Lax's HOWTO: Configure ISBoxer Like a Pro (http://isboxer.com/wiki/HOWTO:Configure_ISBoxer_like_a_pro). A generalised, abstracted version of a combination of the above two methods but with all setup done in software (ISBoxer).
