Hello Gallo,
My attacks work with /focus. Once focus is set, you can do /cast [target=focustarget] shadow bolt and so on and so forth. Even /petattack [target=focustarget] works. This is passive targetting, so your characters current target is not changed. Important if you do CC with it.
To avoid being helpless in the event of death or when playing a character by yourself, you need to have macros to set the focus to all party members. That is five macros. Put them in the same locations on each char, then you can do Shift-4, hit 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 and Shift-1 to swap the focus to the corresponding char.
I use FFA and loot with the main. To trade you can drag things on the char party portrait. Having a /Script AcceptTrade{} macro on the same action bar slot with all chars helps, because you just drag the item you want to trade, hold ALT and click the remaining ones, then hit your trade button once or twice and the items are moved to one of the secondary chars. I love CT_MailMod for making Alt-leftclicking move a char to mail or trade windows.
For healing, I also use passive targetting with 'Clique' a mod that triggers spells on party/raid bar clicks. I alt-left click a party bar or pet bar for greater heal for example. The great thing is that this does not loose the priests target, so I can alt-leftclick one bar to cast a greater heal and keep hitting '1' during the casting time to hit the target with another shadowbolt salvo.
Until level 50 I used to have afflicion/shadow spec rather than demonology and holy. I found that I dont do enough damage with the priest and running about takes care of mana regen anyway. Lots of DoTs and Drain Life is very powerful, but for killing non-elites Demonology and a bit Destruction is clearly better. The good thing about Demonology is that you get bonus damage and healing in a level range where you wouldnt usually have any, compensating for lack of good gear. Since there is the gear-o-rama from level 58 onwards in the outlands, looking for better gear before that is basically pointless.
I hope this helps, if you have more specific questions, dont be too shy to ask them.
Cheers, Steph.
