Effectiveness of adding a 3rd to war/shm or rog/shm? (PVP)

My focus in on PVP, and while I won't be running multiple classes in Arena's most likely, I do want to farm honor for several of my characters at once.

I am currently leveling my Warrior/Shaman duo, I want a Warlock, and I have a 70 rogue on the Warriors account that I Arena/BG with. After realizing how much time it is going to take to get all of the rogues honor point gear, I am thinking it might be a good idea to split the warlock off to a 3rd account and catch him up to the war/shm.

That way I can run the rogue or the warrior as the main box, and have the shm/lock assist. I do well in world PVP with the current duo, but I am not sure how well the trio would work, and since I will probably at least try it, I'm not sure if I want to make the rogue or the warrior the lead character. Anyone do anything similar and have any advice?

I am curious how you deal with the casts times as a warrior...I tried running a warlock warrior and it didn't work too well. Every time I'd try to spam something the warrior would do something I didn't want him too or vice versa.

All I can say for advice is just use as many instants as you can...

The easiest way to setup your controls is to put the abilities you spam on the first 5 or 6 buttons, then put shared commands or caster only commands on 7 through =.

Warrior - Shaman
1 Charge - /assist war, /follow war
2 MS - none
3 Rend - none
4 Hamstring - /assist war, /cast Stormstrike
5 none - /assist war, /cast earth shock
6 none - /follow war
7 none - /target war, /castsequence reset 4 fast heal, big heal
8 none - /castsequence reset=12 totem1, totem2, totem3, totem4
9 none - /target self /cast heal
Etc.

Same thing for the Warlock, the nice thing with the warlock is you can do things like:
/castsequence dot1, dot2, dot3, dot4
/castsequence reset=3 Coil, Fear

Remember also that you can stop and start follow at will in your macros, so you can stop, cast heal, then follow again. It is tricky at first, and I am still learning, but the biggest thing for me was to stop playing the characters like I would individually, and start using them as a unit.

I've got all my priest macros on shift 1-7 and my actual damage spells 1-5 thinking about going all Granado Espada and doing q through t and a through g and z through b. Thats how i originally learned to multibox by playing a game designed around you playing three characters.
