As long as there is no automation, G-keys are perfectly fine. If there's loops or delays or anything that constitutes automation, that's where you're going to be crossing the line.
The same thing goes with anything else that allows you to program actions, like the Razer Naga or the Steelseries. I use a Naga and it uses "macros", but those macros are actually just key combinations like RCtrl + RShift + F8 {Naga only just recently added the ability to create "single key" actions that include modifiers. Previously you had to make them as a macro.}.
Hell, even various programs we use everyday for multiboxing *CAN* automate. I know autohotkey, HotKeyNet and ISBoxer all have the ability to use delays and loop actions. That doesn't mean there's anything wrong with those programs; they are perfectly legitimate as long as you don't break the game's rules.
Avoid delay actions. Avoid repeating actions where you press a button and it does the same thing over and over until you make it stop or for a certain amount of times. Avoid anything that duplicates actions specifically removed from the game {such as whisper casting or reactive casting}. When in doubt, ask, and ask before using. Coming here or going to the game's official forums and nerdraging after you get busted isn't going to win you any sympathy. ;)
Offtopic: Hows that Naga working out for you? I was looking at geting one.
Razer Naga has been the best purchase I have ever made for multiboxing, I can now use my keyboard solely for dps and have all healing related skills and cooldowns on the mouse.
Looks like a good number of people who get a Naga like them. I've got a little overview of it in this thread. Changes to the "Configurator" software have improved usability since then, so the only negative I can still list with it is the stupid location of the back/forward buttons, which they seem to have considered with the Razer Naga Epic, which is probably going to be my next upgrade. Unfortunately the great god Murphy has made sure there won't be money around for any sorts of upgrades for a while. ;)
