Ok I am not a idiot here...

...I cant seem to find maybe a Idiots Guide to 4 shammys and a Pally...

...And is there a Idiot guide to the 4 shammys and Pally? ...

doesn't mean you are one, of course

Is there a big difference between running 4 shammies, or running the 4 and 1 pally?

Yes and no, yes due to the fact that Pally has different spells and it ends up being easiest to lead with the pally versus leading with the shaman due to pally being able to stand there and act as a meat shield. But this is really only in instances and 5 man group quest, and even in group quest you could still use the shaman to lead and survive just fine, not so in instances while it has been done normally the person doing the run's on all shaman are well geared and know the instances in and out.

So in the end you will set up yourself with 1-2 keys dedicated to the tank (Pally) and 1-4 keys for the dps on the shaman (Why 4 you might ask? Well some find that manually mashing the keys for each spell allows them to output the most damage, others find that they prefer macro's over manually doing the spells, normally for shaman you have Flame shock, Lava Burst, Chain Lightning, and Lightning Bolt which you will know since you have an 80 shaman ) The tank in this case a Pally you have roughly 4 spells to worry about also but those can be cast in a certain order. Yes there is a lot more than just 4 spells but you will always try to keep it the rotation to the spells used the most and the others either on a conditional (ctrl or alt) or put on one of the many keys that are left for you to use.

If you want to post what you normally have set up on your 80 shaman we can make some suggestions as far as macro's are concerned for your other's.
