The answer is there is no preferred one. Everyone does something a little differently. There are generally preferred cast sequences, but how they are implemented in a multibox setting is completely different for everyone. Mostly due to procs or spells that require mouse intervention. Also, keep in mind the optimum cast sequence often differs between bosses and trash [and possibly more if you raid or just do heroics].

What I use

My Boomkin:

macro 1 /castsequence Faerie Fire (bunch of commas)
macro 2 /castsequence Insect Swarm (bunch of commas)
macro 3 /use 13
/use 14
/castsequence Moonfire(bunch of commas)
macro 4 /castrandom Wrath, Wrath, Wrath, Starfire, Starfire

I have a single button that clicks all four of these in sequence such that the Faerie Fire, Insect Swarm and Moonfire are only applied after they are about to fade (using commas).
Great post and full of useful information. Thanks for providing the links to each section as well. :thumbup:

I currently have cat/lock/sham and adding a priest and pally to the team. At the same time I am leveling up a mage as well.

For the current 3 that I was boxing I went through a lot of pain to try to find the best dps I could and in the end I realized it just wasn't worth the amount of time to set it up so I went more in the button spam with the simplest setup. I want to play, not continually fight the extra % of dps I might gain. Sure I may wipe a few more times, but I have fun doing it

Note: I strictly PVE and do very little instancing so I would take that into consideration.
