Septimous could you please explain what you meant by "I hit my key bind for Blizzard, which initiates the area selection." This is probably obvious to everyone but I don't play WoW.
Many of us have our area-of-effect spells (AOE) keybound to a button. If the user clicks "b" for blizzard, then the game brings up a green targeting system. Using that targeting system you move it around with your mouse to aim at a part of the ground (the target is usually a very large circle that represents the area the spell will cover). You then click on the mouse to select the area and the spell begins (many times it lasts for a few seconds and you must stay still to keep "channeling" the spell).

I use HKN and currently have my "Force of Nature" spell keybound to shift-t (FoN is the treant spell for druids). With Hotkeynet I have my shift-t set up as a toggle. The first time I push shift-t my FoN is cast (bringing up the AoE target). The second time I push shift-t, HKN broadcasts my current mouse position to the WoW windows and clicks the mouse button (identcial to hitting my left click buttons on the mouse). The third time I push shift-t it sends ctrl-8 (I think) to each WoW window which puts the treants in aggressive mode.

What really happens is that I initially place my mouse where I want the target to be (on my master). I try to set my camera view on my slaves so that when I click on the master it's approximately the correct place on my slaves. Then I start spamming shift-t. Due to delays they may not all cast at once, but since I have the toggle system it doesn't matter as long as I keep spamming it.
