Sharp skill curve adding a tank to the mix?

[genocyde]

Only one thing has been said in this thread that I disagree with. I don't remember how it was worded but it was along the lines of a /castsequence or /castrandom isn't as productive or efficient as being able to individually use abilites and to that I offer two inputs.
1. I have seen several players, usually dps, who are not up to par with my weakest castsequence macro as far as their output goes.
2. A macro that eliminated a hunter clipping his autoshot at 70 was almost a requirement for hunter dps. I had my hunters castsequence macro down so well it was within 5% of my capable solo play output. Now 5% output is easily lost through slow reaction, bad button presses, or several other things that actually made my macro more consistent at it's job than an individual could average.

Everything else I agree with as, despite my favorite hunter macro, I had every other ability bound at all times and was familiar with them. It is impossible to macro things as dynamic as feigning death on an aggro pull which is guaranteed to drop your output by 100% as you become a pile of player when a raid boss hits you.

My best story that agrees with dynamic being > castsequence:
I saved a raid wipe once with my pally tank on Maiden in karazhan when all of our healers failed at their job and got incapacitated probably due to blessing of sacrifice dropping off me. As I reached 5% health knowing I was ultimately going to die without question, cause all the healers were screaming bad news over vent like "someone pick up tank healing" and "I can't I'm stunned", I popped my bubble losing all threat on the boss and then taunted the boss back onto me having a few valuable seconds of guaranteed aggro on the boss while being completely immune to damage. The healers found their way out of the problem and brought me back up to 100% health and on we rolled to epic kara loot (back when that meant something).

I might mention, I had a little preexisting experience with this situation as I was dual boxing tank/healer and this was a very common move i used to save myself in 5 mans when I couldn't multi task well enough to get my healer out of a cc or such.

as Keyclone wont send mouse buttons to your slaves

You'll have to map your Mouse button to a key on the keyboard. then assign a hotkey for that keypress to a slot on your actionbar.

say for instnace your logitech mouse has two extra buttons and you want one of them to be "K". use your logitech program to set up your mouse button 3 to K. now every time you hit the mousebutton #3, you are actually hitting k. last step, keybind an action button on wow to K. drag a macro over it and you're done. yes... you'll need the third party software but they usually come with the mouse anyway.

ps. i used to live in olympia. lovely place.
