AoE Targeting

well, at the time of writing this I am going to reference the post immediately above this one.
This turns your targeted aoe's into point blank. Perfect for my aoe set up.
Distraction At the Dead Scar bombing macros

This actualy works for targeted AoE spells. Blizzard and Rain of Fire for example.

/cast rain of fire
 /script Minimap:PingLocation(0, 0)

I have 2 displays, one the first the main char and on the other one the 4 toons. Do you think this will work too? Just clicking it two times on the main window? its for PvP so i have not the change to switch every display.

Yes, but it significantly increases the latency hit you take when you switch to a different client over an all-on-primary layout.

With all clients on a single display using the primary video adapter (note, this is usually the connector on the video card closer to the motherboard) and a rather robust computer, the latency incurred when switching clients (without resizing via PiP swap or whatever) can be low enough that you really do just click twice where you want it to cast - once to select, once to cast. Well, maybe three times depending on your double-click speed...but it's effective.

I'm unsure you have it right when you say "on the main window"...click on the client window of the slave you want to cast, after first activating the target circle via a bound action. For example, say I'm on a priest and want four mages to cast blizzard, and that I have "6" set up to activate a "/cast Blizzard" macro on my mage slaves. To do the deed, hit 6, then go between the mages' client windows clicking twice where you want them to cast the spell.

This still takes a while to do for the whole team. The only way to improve on it - at this point, that I know of - is to use some sort of mouse broadcasting setup (hardware or software) as described.
