Yep, I suck and I can't play at all. I can't do any of the things you can. I have a focus macro, but it is in the main macros. Every one of my main and alts use the same main macros. 1 for accept and 1 for focus. Holy dang, 2 macros in general, not char.
1 for heal a target, 1 for chain heal
1 for lightning bolt, 1 for chain lightning
1 for shocks, 1 for earthshock
1 for attack/weapon buff, 1 for totems

You need a macro for res? You can't be in combat, so you can't need to hurry. You really can't click a button every (how often do your guys die?) 3-6 hours?

Fine you can macro dancing or prancing or whatever you want to do, but that can be a general macro, not a char one. I use HotKeyNet and it lets me type in a command, so I just push my hotkey for the command (ctrl-home) and it opens up a command line that I can type in ANYTHING I want and all the chars type it also. So I can push CTRL-Home and then type /dance, boom, all dancing. I can push CTRL-Home and type /camp, boom, all logged out. CTRL-Home, /exit, all WOWs gone. I wouldn't want to do a macro for every emote that I would want them all to do. Just seems wasteful.

Macro for mounting/wolf/fly? Sure I guess, never had a need to do more than mount. Guess I didn't care if people ran from me and had to run them down in wolf so I could prove I was amazing. I just use my mount on a hotbar and then push a button.

I don't use macros for spells that I just cast the normal spell. I just put my shocks/totems/etc on a bar and map a key to it. One char has different shocks/totems/etc in the same place, so one push and you get all the chars to cast whatever spell you wanted. No macros needed. Maybe I use 12 keybinds, but I use about 8 macros and that seems WAY less than the 16 they give you. Do whatever works for you, some people were just offering ideas on how deal with only 16 macros.
I understand that but I didn't ask how to get by with <16 macros, I already know I need more than that, I just needed to know how to move macros or get additional ones...it sounds to me like you are on a PvE server... if I didn't use macros to condense some of my commands, I'd have every single CTMod hotbar (9 total plus the original) filled up by now. I don't like that much clutter on my screen so I prefer to condense multiple commands into macros so I only have to have 1 button for them.

There are plenty of reasons to use ghost wolf, chasing down someone is only 1..you may need to run away while still in combat, or move from objective point to objective point while still considered in combat, etc, and I'd prefer not to have to have a different hotkey button for using a flying mount in outland vs a land mount in azeroth/bgs, etc.

Bottom line is having all the extra macros saves time, and isn't that half the point of all the tweaks you can do in multiboxing anyway? If I didn't have all the macros and added an extra 10 seconds here, 15 seconds there, etc, I probably wouldn't even multibox because it would just take too much time.

I appreciate honest help I really do, but being in the computer industry, it always tweaks me when someone tries to fix my problem by suggesting a totally different method without understanding why I'm doing what I'm doing in the first place (happens a lot in the computer industry).

Edit: Think I'll try trinity bars and see how I like that.
