I have mad respect for all of the boxers that are pulling off multi class groups like this. I'm comfortable with 1x pali and 4x shamans but if I added a third I think my brain would melt. One of these days i'll break down and give it a try.

I don't know how 3+classer's fit that many spells/skills onto one keyboard

You need to use the mod function in your macros. Like holding shift, control or alt does something different on some keys on some toons. My mage can cast scorch with shift+1 and fireball with just 1, but the shaman and druid cast LB/Wrath either way. That not only saves keys, but gives quick micomanagement. You can do so many combinations of skills for each key this way, limited only by your ability to remember them. If you play every day, remembering will become second nature.

By the way, I have only been properly boxing for a month and had no idea about any macros at all up to then. Just reading the macro forum for a few hours did wonders. Copying off a couple of macros I liked and just pasting them into everything was good enough so far! (before I found this site, I boxed by just sticking a second computer on follow and just pushing its keys like normal when I wanted it to do something. VERY painful process)

I am with you except my head didn't melt but just exploded. :) I tried Feral tank, 3 boomkin and a Tree and *boom*.

Yah, i was really worried about mixing classes. But i just finished rolling a raf team from 1-60 with no gifting. Team was palli, druid, mage, lock, priest. I used the talent points to get them all to 3s casting time (moonfire, fireball, shadow bolt, holy fire). Getting training for them all was a pain sometimes, but no biggie. I'm resting them now for the 60-70 grind (kinda hoping patch come sooner rather than later). I did just start up a shammie team that i'm rolling up today. not gonna gift any of them either. i will be gifting 3 warriors from like 10-60 later just to have them waiting at 60. So, at this point, at 60 i have 5 locks, 4 rogues(gifted from 16.999-60.999), 5 mixed team and rolling a 5 man shammie team. next will be a 4man hunter team followed by gifting a 3 man warrior team to 60. Yah... i've gone a little alt crazy with RaF. >.>

I'm currently working on leveling a Paladin, Holy Priest, Boomkin, 2x Shaman group intending to take advantage of the synergy bonuses in Wrath. I'm still debating whether or not I want the second shammy or should go mage/lock.

HA! Some nights I don't want to deal with so many different options and just want to blow stuff up. The end effect is I now have a 4 Shaman team. What will be nice is that I can later mix and match as wanted/needed. The only trick there is to keep the basic key layouts the same.

Well the basic 1,2,3 keypresses do basic nukes, I only have to use mod keys when I need to maximize my performance, like on a boss or immune mob or something. Most of the time all the tank does is toss out a shield and the mob is already dead from the other 3. :-)

I used to have a 5x shaman team but I leveled up a mage and a pally at the same time and I kind of like the mage, squishy as he is.
I like having the mage around for mana biscuits because the pally is a total mana whore, I think he's getting fat eating all of those biscuits.
I suffer a little with the mage in on the team for DPS, mostly because he doesn't have any gear and my shaman have quite a bit.

If it's a hard instance I have the mage bake some biscuits and then I ditch him for the shaman.

Normally it is just that simple, but I enjoy running instances which get a little more complicated. All good fun, but some times its a bit more work then I fell like taking on.

I have a few keys for the paladin, and one main dps button for all slaves bound to a long /castsequence.
The cast/cooldown times don't line up on any of them..I just mash the button repeatedly and they cast when they can.
