1. The pause key is your friend.

2. is a known problem, usually happens when you didn't put WASD on the "Do Not Post" list. But there are other possible causes.
Yours sounds like you have wasd on DNP, but while swapping instances (wow programs) you have a movement key pressed, and because it is on DNP, which is logical, unpressing the key will not register on the window you just left. Solution is quite simple, don't use pip or swap instances while having movement keys pressed.

3. If your shaman is enhancement, I would consider maining your shaman and alting your warrior, upon approaching a mob, charge with your warrior and individually move your shaman. Warriors are, due to charge, somewhat easier to position as alts. You can not 100% rely on charge alone, but it will make grinding a whole lot nicer.
Alternatively, don't play your shaman as melee. :P

As for as moving towards or backing up mobs. In PvE sense backing the mobs towards your alts is indeed nicer. But that wouldn't work in situations like PvP. Unless you don't care about it, I'd use seperate movement keys, practice makes perfect and learning to use it in pve is the first step of handling yourself in pvp.



Whilest multiboxing tends to be seen as a journey to minimize micro-management. It should be your insentive to have as much micromanagement you can handle, obviously not to much, but to give you the most control in dynamic situations. Sure you can take away almost all micro-management with certain tactics and strategies. But it makes you vulnerable too!
