so the most I had ever done before this was 3 boxing (which was 1 priest and 2 shammies)... and I didn't do it that much to begin with... I 2 boxed for about 90 levels in total... so I have a good feeling for how to do that... however... I wasn't using maximizer at that time or anything...

In any case... I'd been debating this change for a while... I'm attempting prot pally with 4 ele shammies... I feel this will be able to get me through pretty much every 5 man in the game and permit me to possibly sell some 2k arena ratings :evil: (though albeit will take a lot of practice).

At this moment in time they're all sitting at level 6. I rolled alliance for this mainly because I wanted to try a change... but the disadvantage to this is it's gonna be a while til I can go into an instance and start grinding that way. So I'm stuck questing... my first question here would be what is the best way to get that 1-17 hump done (without powerleveling). On top of that, with dual boxing I can get away with only a couple macros; however, I already have a crap load more macros in just my questing that I have done so far. As all of you are far more experienced in this regard... what do I need to know about running instances alone (Outside of 'it's harder'). and what should I have at my disposal for macros?
