Is there a way I can smart select which spell to use?
I thought that this might work but it doesn't
/stopcasting
/cast [@focus] Hex
/cast [@focus] Bind Elemental
How would you do that?

I just use the plain skill without a macro or anything and manually click the mobs on each toon so i can hex/bind elemental 4 at a time. You could consider marking the mobs and have your toons have like:
#showtooltip
/cast [target=skull] Hex
That might work too.
Just for working through the problem you having here, obviously you cannot cast the two spells with the same key press. Just as you cannot /cast fireball /cast frostbolt on the same macro and hope both will land some how.Quote:

Your not going to get this to work.
So you focus on a Living Tornado, cast hex on it, and the response is immune, you cast cast again and the elemental bind works. The problem here is that you might want to recast hex and that would be sort of silly. The below assumes that the immune response works and not a failed response. And that you want to recast hex after 10seconds in the same combat.
Code:/castsequence [@focus, harm, nodead] reset=combat/10 Hex, Bind Elemental
This is how I've set mine up. I have a Mage and 2 Elemental Shamen.
I have 3 different keybinds, one to set the focus on each DPS:
Tank targets the mob to be CC'd
Mage (ctrl+1):
/assist party1
/focus target
Shaman 1 (ctrl+2), Shaman 2 (ctrl+3) same macro as above.
Then I have ctrl+4 as the actual cast macro.
Mage:
/castsequence [target=focus] polymorph
Shaman 1:
/castsequence [target=focus] hex
Shaman 2:
/castsequence [target=focus] bind elemental
BAM!
Using this myself (Just Alt instead of Ctrl) and works like a charm. Only sad thing is that the spells dont have better range :)Quote:

For me, its just guestimating more than anything. You start to get a feel for how close they need to be once you've done it for a while. However, if its still around, the addon "Range Display" might be helpfulQuote:

I use:
/cast [target=focus,mod:shift] hex
/cast [target=focus] bind elemental
I bind that macro to key, Z for example, then through isboxer i set up a key map that sends both Z and shift+Z each time I press the Z key ingame. That way it casts the appropriate spell and you only need one key press.
How many keys do you usually string together in isboxer on a single key press?Quote:

Also, you cannot macro target=skull or such targeting by marks.
