I know this prolly sounds extremely cocky and I'm not sure if I will ever pull it off (the rank) but for now it's what keeps me multiboxing. You know what they say, the journey is more fun than the destination.
And to be honest I don't think there can be a guide that works for people, I currently use over 50 macro's for this instance alone, and a ton of keymaps that can change on the fly. And I use a dedicated keyboard that i've setup with specific binds (with the G-keys). A recurring example: at a certain point I know that I need to hit G4 5x in a row which is a 'scripted' keymap and it will position each toon in such a way that I always dodge the same encounter ability (e.g. this keymap will make toon 1 go left left forward left left, toon 2 right right foward right, etc ... whereas on the 6th press it activates a new keymap ... and so on). It's almost scripting out the entire instance with keymaps and then find some logical way to memorize and execute those (within the 1 press = 1 action philosophy). Basically it's the same as what some boxers had back in the day for the last encounter in the oculus where you had to fly on the drake, but then a lot longer and lot more binds.
So setup but then also analysing combat logs until you have blue nuts. I rely heavily on ancestral guidance for example. So I pretty much need to know exactly how much it will heal to rotate it perfectly (meaning I need to have an idea of the incoming damage on that fight, cooldown uptime on my tank, but also how I use dps cooldowns on the toon that is activating ancestral guidance to maximize healing output. I divided the dungeon up in multiple phases, and then I have a spreadsheet that keeps track of dps output, incoming dmg, cd usage and healing output. Really the work of a big nerd. But hey I find it fun and never really planned it to do so, it just happened over time by adding stuff. Either way I'm stuck for now at 3 parts where I need to cut time (a lot). And that's where I hope my chuck norris DK tank will make the difference (where I know he will cost me time on other phases). And in the end I still need to execute it properly. I still have hope though o/
