Click broadcasting is a powerful reason to use Octopus - I wouldn't be happy if I didn't have it! I would recommend spending the time getting it working - it isn't really that hard and once you get it figured out you will wonder how you ever survived without it. On controlled pulls Blizzard/Blizzard/Rain of Fire while I consecrate and Holy Shield with my Pally is just great. The SoC macro does have a downside though. I have found that I run through areas now and just spam that instead of trying to actually worry about how I kill mobs... and I have really gotten out of the habbit for how to really kill anything tough. Every time I instance I have to think... oh CC that's right.
