I like to see people creating tutorials and videos for multiboxing, so I always try to watch them. However, I would consider myself to be an amateur videographer, and with that I tend to critique others' videos. So, I'd like to give some basic, and hopefully useful, but perhaps unwanted, feedback.
1. I would suggest not including any "current events" in a tutorial video, or, if you do, try to be generic. For example, part of your intro is showing off how WoW is on sale and you're suggesting that it's the perfect time to get in on multiboxing because of that. Well, the sale ends on January 2nd, so that part of your video is going to be irrelevant in just 10 days. In my opinion, it'd be better to be generic by telling people to look (or wait) for sales before jumping into multiboxing (or try it with trials), or just don't mention it at all since it's not part of the tutorial topic.
2. User support for HKN ended over 5 years ago (Source

2), and there will not be a HKN2 unless Freddie decides to resurrect it from its current state. What I mean is, it's not currently being worked on, and hasn't been for many years, at least, publicly. As far as I know, Freddie dedicates his time to a program called Mojo, which is for the game DAoC.
3. Try to stay away from saying "I don't know" in tutorial videos, specifically when it comes to basic features/configuration of the topic you're trying to teach. You are the teacher who is supposed to be teaching others, so teach with confidence (i.e. figure out the answer if you want to talk about that feature or topic).
4. Unless I'm mistaken, you can still
use HKN to properly load and rename WoW without the Blizzard App.
Now, my final criticisms are coming from someone who has not used HKN, but has watched some tutorials on it.
To start off, you don't seem to be giving a lot of information about the program itself. You seemed to breeze through an already written script without giving any insight as to how the HKN scripting language works, or where to even find the "dictionary" for the language itself. People will definitely want to expand upon what you're offering, but if you don't want to provide that, then it should be made clear near the beginning of the tutorial that you are only offering a limited script with limited support. You may be hinting at this by saying you're a casual multiboxer, but I don't know.
In addition, you don't show how to put your game windows into any sort of layout, and you seem to have just left them scattered about your desktop when you transition into the game to begin talking about macros. In my opinion, a window layout is a basic need for any multiboxer, and setting one up should be included in any beginner tutorial. If/When you do mention it (in any future tutorials), I would also suggest not assuming everyone uses the same desktop resolution. So, while you might not be able to give the correct layout values for those who play on a x1440 (16:9 or 21:9) or x2160 display, you may want to at least point that out to everyone that the values you're using are because of your desktop resolution, and those who aren't using the same resolution will need to figure out their own values.
Finally, you can avoid getting stuck when looting by using an add-on like JAMBA, LootAssist, or bobsfastloot.
Again, I'd like to reiterate that I'm able to approach criticism from both the standpoint of both an amateur videographer, as well as someone who knows very little about HKN. This isn't an attack on you or your video, and I'm just trying to help you for whatever future videos you may create. :)
