Hmm not using software makes your answer not very helpful for me. Especially since you use multiple screens/keyboards.

I figure that I'm going to have to use the pally as my "main" character for positional reasons, and I'll use my entire nostromo n52 as my healer (binding a big heal, flash heal, renew to each character with a seperate button).

My CC'ing will have to be done with /focus, so I'm not sure how the CC'ers are going to regain their target... I guess target=party1raid or whatever that command was, will have to do.
