Combat then. I target a mob using the Paladin. If there is no AE threat (eg Wizards in Scarlet Monastery) it doesn't matter if all of the party are on follow. All of the abilities they use, particularly initially, are instant cast.
If there is an AE threat, I park the characters 20 yards behind, by pressing 1.
SINGLE MOB FIGHT
I target the mob I want to fight. I press 2 on the keyboard. This instantly makes all characters assist the Pallie and acquire the same target.
I can body pull or use the locks to pull. If I want to, I can go through a couple rounds of melee to build up aggro using only Paladin abilities (not usually needed). I then go through the following sequence :
Press 3 - Pallie fires Seal of the Crusader, Shammy lays down Mana Totem, 3 x Warlocks fire Amplify Curse (if it is up) then Curse of Agony
Press 4 - Pallie uses Judgement, Shammy lays down Earthbind, to ensure noting can run, Warlocks cast 3 x Corruption
Press 5 - Pallie casts Seal of Righteousness, Shammy lays down Windfury Totem, Warlocks send in pets to attack
Press 6 - Shammy lays down Flametongue Totem
By quickly pressing 4 buttons, the Pallie has established aggro, the mob has 6 DoTs on it, the pets are attacking and the Shammy has laid down its maximum of four Totems (one per element).
Depending on how tough the mob is, how everyones mana and life is etc, I can either lay more DoTs down very quickly, fire a lot of immediate DPS, or cast mana or life drain to replen them as necessary.
Bar 2 (Shift 1 to =) has more non shared ability keys. eg Shift 2 and Shift 3 just fireImmolation and Siphon Life on the Warlocks. Shift 9 is just Consecration on the Pallie, Shift 0 is just Holy Shield.
Alt 1 to Alt = fires targetted heals, chain heals and totem heals from the Shammy.
