    My 2 cents:

    I don't know about Blizzard, but my guide, is that if you can do it in game, using the macro system, then its _probably_ okay to move that functionality out.

    I don't think you can count how many times a spell/button was used in game, so a system like that will probably violate some of Blizzards rules.

    The hard and fast rule that I have heard time and time again is: Only one action per button press with anything that isn't an in-game macro or addon.

    So, for example, you can't have an outside program send keys 2-5 every time you press the 1 key so that it fires off whatever ability isn't on the GCD.

    As to a tool, AutoHotKey does have the ability to handle programming logic. It obviously can't hook into the WoW client and do something like "when I press 1, if art of war is up cast exorcism, otherwise cast divine storm" but you can have it do conditionals and other stuff. I really didn't do much more with it than have it do 1:1 broadcasting of certain keys in game, but I did have it set up to loop through a set of questions about which screen was the master, which was the slave, which was the healer, etc., so that it would send different keys to each client.
