Using potions on specific toons

I've recently got all my toons up to 375 alch so we can get this nice new trinket, and wanted to a way to tell a toon to drink a potion though macros...

On this post, torytrae wants to just click on a portrait to use a macro...

I was thinking if each party member had a heath potion in a different slot on their bag there might be a way to setup a macro to use the script '/use <inventory slot>' and put the ptions on different locations in their bags... but it would need 5 seperate keyboard keys to use and that seems like a lot right now.... and they mine as well just have /use potion bound to their own key and have the other keys do nothing on the other toons...

I'm still trying to work through this and will edit it if I can think more clearly but can anyone think of a way I can use '/use <inventory slot>' in conjunction with mouse over party members...

Not in front of WoW right now, but can't you use the /use command just like you would with a trinket? Just put it in a macro and assign it to a button/buttons.

/use Polyjuice Potion

(sorry for only remembering a Harry Potter potion) :)

becuase everyone would drink and I might be wasting that 2 min cooldown if one toon only had 100 damage

you can bind 4 keys for 1 pot on ea toon, numpad maby?

Well skug, if you take a few seconds to read my post you'd see I was trying to avoid that when I wrote

perhaps that was a bit confusing?

and on closer inspection, I run 5 toons... but thank you for taking the time to bump by post and increase your post count

ok ok, this might be to complicated but maby you can use: alt + 1, ctrl + 1 ecsetra...
still i think that wud jsut slow things down :S

If you boter you can always use Dragon natural speaking XD

Becuase pots and healthstones are self use only, and smart casting/ smart using was disabled for combat in 2.1, I don't think there is any way other than to bind a key for each toon.

If you have keys that are normally bound to cast healing spells on a particular toon, modify them so that particular toon quaffs a pot or uses a healthstone - use the modifiers shift, ctrl or alt. That might save on using additional keys...
